You need to name them with '3DBD' not '3DBR'.

My mistake. I did name them "3DBD". I edited my original post to reflect that. Thanks

Very strange. I use a different naming convention to yourself which is as follows:
Avatar.2009.1080p.3DBD.mkv (the definition is obviously surplus to requirements if you are storing iso's)
Perhaps you could try and rename some of your 3D movies as above and see if the skin recognizes the tag correctly?
Have you also considered upgrading to MQ4 at all?

I renamed some of my 3D movies as you suggested but I still get Bluray covers. I downloaded MQ4 2.8.0 and tried to install it from a zip file but got an error message stating "Dependencies not met". I tried to find MQ4 2.7.0 but was unable to locate the file. I am using Eden instead of Frodo because I couldn't get all the DVD/Bluray covers to show up on Frodo even after I uninstalled Eden and did a clean install of Frodo. I don't want to get off track but maybe some of the above info is important.
Thanks again for your time.

Samu. Thanks!!! I installed MQ4 and after a half hour looking for the settings page I was able to play with it and I think it is much better than MQ3. The upgrade however did not fix the problem however but I figured it out. On my hard drive I had two folders. One named BLURAY 2D and the other BLURAY 3D. Inside of the BLURAY 3D folder i stored all my 3D ISO's. As previously explained, I changed the name of all ISO's to include "3DBD" and rescaned but that didnt change the movie covers to the 3D style. When I renamed the main folder BLURAY 3D to "3DBD" however all the movies inside that folder had the correct 3D cover after the rescan. One more question. I would like to upgrade to Frodo but on two different computers most of the movie thumbnails were missing. I backed up all the movie data to "seperate files" so my thumbnails are stored in their respective movie folders. If I upgrade to Frodo with the MQ4 2.8.0 skin will my thumbnails still be missing?
Thanks again!

Glad you got it sorted in the end. In terms of the thumbnails issue (I assume you mean posters?) then as long as you have these residing in each specific movie folder, named poster.jpg then I can't see this being a problem.
I have my set up as follows and don't have any issues with artwork on Frodo or MQ4.

If you are using the correct naming conventions and still have no posters then you could try re-scraping your source folders. I find the easiest way to do that is to change the scraper used on a particular source, it will then ask you if you want to re-scrape the folder, choose no. Then change the scraper back to the original and this time choose to re-scrape the folders. Failing that you could try deleting the thumbnails folder as well as the textures13.db. This will then force the system to re-scrape your artwork from those you have stored locally.
A couple of things to mention; depending on what platform you are using it may be better to completely wipe Eden from your system before upgrading to Fordo, and make sure you install MQ4 2.9.0 as 2.8 has a bug which doesn't show any fanart.
There’s quite a lot of info there, but hopefully it helps in some way.

Hi,
I thought I would register and post my solution to topic at hand...
I tried renaming my main folder to 3DBD but I still had the blu-ray case...
So what I did was, I rename all my movie folders to "movie.name.(AVCHD_ISO).whatever.you.want"
That did the trick for me, I didn't rename the movie file, just the movie directory....
All my movie files are mkv, not sure if that could've been the issue...
I'm using Frodo with AEON NOX v4
Thanks
