Let’s Start: Convert MKV files to play with Gear VR Innovator Edition in Oculus Cinema 

Step 1. Add video files to the 3D MKV/MP4 Converter 

You are provided three methods to add files for the 2D to 3D MKV task: 
a. Directly drag & drop 2D video in any format to the 2D to 3D MKV converter 
b. Head to “Convert” then choose “Add Files” 
c. Click the “Add Files” button in this app’s pane 

With the function of batch conversion, you are here allowed to import more than one video files for your 3D movie creating project. 

 

Step 2. Choose the optimized format for Gear VR Innovator Edition

Note: Although there is a profile created by the application, we can always change some parameters of resolution, compression, audio, etc. An important issue that you must consider that in Samsung Gear VR resolution for each eye is not FullHD but half the QHD screen. So you can free change your target video size, bitrate, frame rate and 3D depth in “Settings”. If you want to get best video quality, pls switch them to “original”. 3D movies should be encoded “full side-by-side” with a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio. Content mastered at 1920×1080 compressed side­-by-­side 3D should be resampled to 1920×540 resolution full side­-by­-side resolution (Learn more). 

We also recommend using a higher bit rate than a typical web stream at that resolution, as the pixels in your video will be magnified on the phone's screen. The optimal bit rate is content dependent, and many videos can get by with less, but 5 Mb/s should give good quality. 

Step 3. Start converting MKV files
