Vlc always plays all files as 3d!

[DManzaluni]

I LOVE VLC because it always seems to get everything right on all my computers. But I am now having a problem on my main computer.

I have in the past tried to play anaglyph files on VLC, with mixed success. With the supplied glasses, once i had jumped through hoops to get the files to pay 3d, nothing is really bright enough to be reliable. Still, I suppose I can see in 3d, so it does play "properly" within its own parameters.

However, now that I have made those changes to play in 3d, all files now play in side-by-side 3d??

Isn't VLC supposed to recognise file and play them as they are? I can't find any reset-to-defaults or FAQ for this and all requests for FAQs which concern 3d seem to involve PLAYING 3d files, they dont concern NOT playing files in 3d!

You can reset the preferences completely, which will erase all changes you made.
