From the 10.0 milestone:

Added native support for unencrypted Blu-ray Disc playback without menus (via libbluray)

I don't know whether libbluray works with isos though. And I don't whether this actually works at all, just don't have unencrypted discs and no isos for that matter either.

hope it works with 10.0 because getting my 3dtv tomorrow and I would hate to have to use a secondary video player for 3d movies.

It will not work. Non on the team have a 3dtv and not even sure anyone is interested atm to support it. It might change down the road however but as of now it is not on the roadmap. You may use an external player for xbmc though.

I guess this 3d hype is only usefull in a big cinema ....
Looking a movie in 3d on your own so little tv (samsung 45") sounds silly to me ...

I'm reading this thread in 3D &-) and yes I cannot see 3D sticking around myself another attempt at the 3D market that will flop! Just a touch more expensive than the last attempt Smile

I find the home 3D much more superior than what I've seen in the Cinema. First I wrote it off too after seeing Avatar, but after seeing content in my home I think there is a market - atleast in animation. I have the 63" Samsung Plasma. Lets see after Christmas where the market stand. Smile

I do think that supporting Side-by-side re-encodes of Blu-rays could be achieved "easily", which I suggested here; Trac ticket #10331. Menus and subtitles have to be rendered at half the horizontal or vertical res and done twice on each side or top and bottom. Video works fine as is but when TV is in side-by-side mode, then menu and subtitles are useless.

Not everyone watch their movies on travel-size tv`s, even if you do.
