I have many movies in 3D format (SBS and BluRay 3D .ISO). Please add 3D support. ---

@“The Ozzyman” - 3d is already supported. [https://support.plex.tv/articles/203810286-what-media-formats-are-supported/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/203810286-what-media-formats-are-supported/) > Is 3D playback supported? > > Yes. However, note that there is nothing special that the Plex app can do to instruct the television that a specific video is 3D. You will need to enable the appropriate 3D viewing mode on the television yourself. > > See the Specific Model Differences section for more information. ISO files are not, and likely never will be.

Thanks, for your awnser. But the another awnser (about ISO files talks about TV Sereis ISO files. I have here BluRay 3D Movie Files and I don’t want to loose this quality. ---

just rip it to MKV… no further compression / loss of quality. ---

If Windows, MakeMKV is a good choice, and currently free in Beta - just have to enter new key every 30-45 days. See the link, as listed in the “ISO not supported” page I previously linked.

MakeMKV is a good choice even for macOS 😉 and there’s a “beta” for the beta for Linux as well – however I haven’t tested that one [http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224](http://www.makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224) ---

> @tom80H said: > just rip it to MKV… no further compression / loss of quality. In MKV I’ll have a SBS movie. I want a movie with 1080p in both sides, the same quality of the BluRay3D ISO ---

Is there a MKV technology to Sequencial 3D movie ?? Because SBS 3D you lose 50% of quality ! ---

If that’s what’s stored on the Blu-Ray, you cannot magically improve it by using a different format ---

> @tom80H said: > If that’s what’s stored on the Blu-Ray, you cannot magically improve it by using a different format Is that I’m talked. Don’t exist another format with the same quality than BluRay 3D (sequencial 3D)! That’s why I’m talking about BluRay 3D support. ---

you missed my point. this is not necessarily about the format. Apps like MakeMKV are capable to store files from the streams on the BD as-is on your computer. They don’t change the structure or quality. If the video is encoded in a certain mode on the Blu-Ray, ripping it into a MKV container won’t change that format. If the original is 2 full HD pictures (2x 1080p), your output will be 2x 1080p… if it isn’t, transferring it into a MKV file won’t pump it up. If your Blu-Ray contains a sequential frame 3d video, ripping it into a MKV will not change the video’s encoding to a different type of 3d encoding. ---
