In fact, 3D MKV files in 3D SBS(Side-by-Side) work on Rift CV1, but the audio has to be encoded in AAC or MP3 for stereo. AC3 and DTS were removed because of high licensing costs.

Tips: Add 3D MKV movies on Rift CV1 watching

To watch your 3D MKV movies on Rift CV1, however, there is an additional step, and it's not entirely straightforward.

The following will allow for perfect 3D playback of videos set up in a SBS format. SBS format means the left and right video channels are contained within the same file and appears as a near-mirror image when played back using a standard media player. To view your SBS 3D video files on your Rift CV1, follow these steps:

1. On your MicroSD card file directory, navigate to Oculus > Movies > Your Movies
2. Create a new folder within "Your Movies" and label it "3D"
3. Import or move your SBS 3D MKV movies into your newly created "3D" folder

Once you have created your 3D MKV movies and imported compatible video files, insert your MicroSD card into your phone (if it isn't already), slide the phone in your Rift CV1, and put the virtual reality headset on your head. Then:

1. Navigate to Rift CV1 from the main menu
2. Navigate to "My Videos" from the Rift CV1 content library menu
3. Select the 3D video you wish to view (if you followed the above steps it should have a "3D" label in the upper righthand corner)
4. Choose the cinema mode to begin playback

How to watch 3D movies on the Samsung Gear VR?

Even it is limited by a rare content store out of the box, the Samsung Gear VR gives a lot of potential. Thanks to Samsung and Oculus it is possible to take in and watch your movies in virtual cinema mode. So how do we accomplish this? Read on the article to learn the method. Watching 3D movies on Samsung Gear VR needs a phone as the display. Here, we take Samsung Galaxy S6 for instance.

            

Step-by-Step guide for watching 3D movies on Samsung Gear VR 

First, you should know the Gear VR by default supports most common file formats including MP4, AVI, and FLV. The movies could be seen in perfect 3D playback should set up in a side-by-side (SBS) format. SBS format means that left and right video channels are placed at same file. When you make sure the 3D movies are accepted by Gear VR, then follow these steps to view your SBS 3D video files on your Gear VR via Galaxy S6:

  • On your MicroSD card file directory, navigate to Oculus > Movies > Your Movies
  • Create a new folder within “Your Movies” and label it “3D”
  • Import or move your side-by-side 3D videos into your newly created “3D” folder.

Once you have created your 3D content folder and imported compatible video files, insert your MicroSD card into your Galaxy S6 (if it isn’t already), dock the phone in your Gear VR, and put the virtual reality headset on. Then:

  • Navigate to Oculus Cinema from the main menu
  • Navigate to “My Videos” from the Oculus Cinema content library menu
  • Select the 3D video you wish to view (if you followed the above steps it should have a “3D” label in the upper righthand corner)
  • Choose the cinema mode to begin playback

The software is coded to automatically convert any video in the “3D” folder for 3D playback. While the included documentation and tutorials don’t make the process completely obvious, the answer is buried in the literature accompanying the Gear VR’s Oculus Mobile SDK along with plenty of other tips on importing your own content for viewing on Samsung’s virtual reality headset. 

Where to get the 3D content for playing on Samsung Gear VR?

If you don’t know where to get the 3D content for Gear VR, I suggest you to download the 3D movie from YouTube or you can rip your Blu-ray/DVD and other movie library to 3D SBS MP4 video for your Gear VR.
