How to setup Media Player Classic for 3Dfier

Please note that there are many versions of MPC on the net and currently we do not guarantee the retail 3Dfier works with MPC but we do know it works with some versions like the one comes with Real Alternative (version 6.4.9.1). If you have no luck with your copy of MPC, try this version and let us know what version you have problems with.

After Media Player Classic installed(most likely come with K-lite codec pack or Real Alternative), launch Media Player Classic and go to Options.

Select "Output" and find the DirectShow Video where the available renderers are listed. Select "System Default" or VRM9 for 3Dfier to work with Media Player Classics. Select "System Default" only for Windows 7.

If you want to use Media Player Classic to play DVD with 3Dfier, uncheck the "MPEG-2 Video" Transformer Filters from "Internal Filters" Option.

If 3Dfier is configured and running correctly, you will see 3Dfier icon shown in system tray and also the Player->Filters menu item will show 3Dfier 2D to 3D transform filter in the list.


3Dfier icon will be shown on system tray only when you open or play a file with Media Player Classic or other players that is compatible with DirectShow. You might need to try to find it by yourself under Windows 7 where not all icons are shown by default.

Right-Click on the icon, you will have access to the control of 3Dfier including enable/disable, Input Type selection (Normal, Above-Below or Side-by-Side) and Swap Left/Right. Remember to stop Media Player Classic playback before make any change.

Optimized anaglyph playback with 3Dfier!

You can now get great anaglyph viewing experience with 3Dfier by using the Optimized Anaglyph rendering option with iZ3D Media Player Classics:

Remember to set the Stereo format as "Side By Side" when playback video files. Try it. The anaglyph result is really better with the combination of 3Dfier and iZ3D Media Player Classics!

3Dfier works best with high quality video

There are reports of no good result of 3Difer on some low bit rate videos. This is expected behavior. 3Dfier works best with high quality video with sharp image. The algorithm does not work well with low quality video that comes with significant noise. On the other hand, we do not want low quality 3D anyway, right? Try to see the jungle scenes of Australia the movie in high quality, you will be impressed by the 3D effects with 3Dfier.
