Why does XBMC turn on stereoscopic mode while playing some files that in no way are stereoscopic movies?

The files are created with Handbrake and the profile is set to normal, with x264 tune of "film".
The source are DVD's from my own collection.

I can't see anything in the filenames that would indicate that it is a 3D movie.

Here's the codec info from VLC ....


Also, by messing around with the playback options for the running move, I can manage to get a half decent playback. Turning on deinterlace and selecting 3D SBS usually results in a fullscreen playback, but the GUI does only cover the top left quarter of the display.

Xbian version: RC3 XBMC 13.2 git:20140901-867305b.

Can't upgrade no further, perhaps due to broken repo for the moment, although I did an upgrade yesterday also to the latest working.

Did not fix the problem.

seems to be that your movies are not in ordinary standards
when you rip and encode your DVDs make sure you use well know standards and than you should have no problem at all
