Convert MKV to 3D MP4 for Playing on HTC Vive

Summary：HTC Vive offers a flat-out amazing virtual reality experience with sharp visuals, great motion controls and full-room sensing to walk around in virtual space.

HTC Vive hardware can help indicate where your walls are, and an in-helmet camera can be used to see your space with the headset on. A design decision that instantly makes it feel more immersive. It creates a Star Trek holodeck-like space in your room to virtually walk around in. The headset itself packs in a pair of OLED displays with 2,160 x 1,200 pixels of total resolution.

If you are going for a mobile based VR headset I would suggest HTC Vive. It’s cheaper,but its optics are definitely better. However, if you have other videos like MKV, is it possible to put them into Android/iPhone handsets to watch MKV files on HTC Vive?

Actually, on HTC Vive related forums many users have need to backup MKV Movies to computer and then watch 3D Movies with HTC Vive through your devices.

And in view of the course of 3D effect, what you need is to take advantage of a third-party program to help you convert MKV to 3D SBS MOV/MP4 videos, so that you can smoothly play them on HTC Vive through your iPhone/Android handsets.
Editor Notes: “ In fact, I've used Handbrake to convert the MKV files I have that do not work. It will repackage them in MKVs using different codecs for HTC Vive playback. Handbrake supports encoding of several audio tracks, and the audio quality is also quite favorable. But sometimes the output audio maybe a little bit low and it is uncomfortable when you on trip or in crowding space without sound amplifier built in. Worse still, it only supports converting MKV to MP4 or M4V, not into 3D format. In this case, a Handbrake alternative for Windows users is needed. “

Related Question about Best Video Player for Oculus Rift CV1:

Q: Is there a player available that will wrestle control of the CV1 away from the Oculus Home software? I wanted to watch a side-by-side 3D movie with it to test and I can't figure out how. All the software I used for the DK doesn't seem to work because when I put the headset on the Oculus Home app pops up.

A: Here is the list of all* the Oculus Rift video players that I could find, plus giving my own personal favourite (at the bottom):

VR Player

VR Player is a known program amongst Oculus Rift veterans. Although I would not recommend using it with DK2 (as it has some performance issues), it is one of the best video players available for the first Oculus Rift development kit. Download here.

LiveViewRift

Say hello to one of the most popular DK2 video players. It is on top of the list for many people, and for a good reason. It perform superbly, has a solid tracking, and has no performance issues. It is my second favourite Oculus Rift video player. Download here.

MaxVR

MaxVR does everything that you ask him to. There are no complications with this program. Although some features might be missing, it can be seen as something positive. It is one of the most simplistic players that doesn’t confuse their users. Download here. Price is $9.99.

CINEVEO

CINEVEO is a bit of a controversial app. Its creator, Sven Kohn, had some dishonorable ways to market his program, as well as having a bad customer support. Due to these incidents, CINEVEO has been blacklisted in vrapps & EnterTheRift.fr. You can read more about the incidenthere on reddit. Price is $9.99.

RiftMax

Riftmax has also its own spin to all these video players. Apart from watching movies and everything you want, you are able to invite friends or join parties, like in Convrge. To make the best of this social interaction, you can use your spotlight to sing some karaoke to others. Download here.
