Import 3D YouTube movies on Oculus Rift

YouTube is a very popular video sharing platform that's used by millions of people all over the world on a daily basis. Good News is that you can access many 3D video sources from YouTube at its official 3D channel. Most of people have turned to enjoy 3d YouTube on their 3D devices like Oculus Rift instead of on the computer. 

Still looking for a possible solution? Don't feel upset. Here is the solution for you. In this article, I would like to share some useful tips on how to import downloaded YouTube playlist to Oculus Rift on Mac/Windows.


First, find 3D videos from YouTube:

a. YouTube has official 3D channel; there you can find lots of 3D YouTube videos related to different niche. Rest you can customize your searches a bit by using the search queries.
b. Use this phrase before your keyword, "yt3d:enable=true" so the actual search query becomes "yt3d:enable=true Technology"
c. Just make sure the videos you are searching or viewing are 3D in nature.

In order to watch 3D YouTube Music, Movies and TV Shows on your Oculus Rift, you only need to download and install the YouTube app. However, in order to have the YouTube app playing video without buffering, it requires that there's very fast network connection. Besides, the ad at the beginning of the YouTube video is very annoying. So is there a way to play downloaded YouTube videos on Oculus Rift without constant buffering and annoying ads? How to play YouTube videos on Oculus Rift even if there's no network?

Then, convert 3D YouTube to 3D videos for viewing on Oculus Rift:

Since the 3D YouTube .flv is not a compatible format for Oculus Rift, converting 3D YouTube videos to a suitable format for Rift in 3D is rewarding. Here iFastime Video Converter Ultimate for Mac is an easy to use program with bright icons that make navigation easier. You can convert 3D files downloaded from YouTube to be more easily used on Oculus Rift.

Step 3: Get the process started

Click the red "Start conversion", it will start 3D YouTube to Oculus Rift conversion immediately. After conversion, you can find your created movie by hitting "Open".

At last, import converted 3D YouTube movies on Oculus Rift:

The following steps will teach you for perfect 3D movies playback on Oculus Rift. Here we go:

Download and install VLC Player
Download and install VR Player
You then need to download the DK2 Tracker (Hosted here incase it is removed from where I got it from) for motion tracking within the player
Expand the .zip ( * See below in known issues if you have problems here)
Copy to the following location (or wherever you installed VR Player): 
C:\Program Files (x86)\VR Player\Trackers
Open up VR player and set the tracker that you just copied as follows:



Depending on the content you wish to view you have a few options. Here are some examples:

Set up Oculus as extended Desktop in the Rift Display Mode program.
Ensure your windows monitor is setup so your rift is secondary.
For 3D movies such as Avatar: 
Menu - Media - Format - Side By Side 
Menu - Media - Projection - Plane
If your movie is not 3D 
Menu - Media - Format - Mono 
Menu - Media - Projection - Plane
To open a movie select: 
Menu - File - Open File - With VLC...
Browse to your selected movie.

Now that the movie is running you need to move the video screen onto your Oculus screen. 
In my case the Oculus is my second monitor to the left. So I hit these keys: 
Hit Windows Key + Cursor Key Left (Do this twice, this moves the window to your Oculus) 
Hit Windows Key + Cursor Key Up (This maximizes the window)

Put on headphones and enjoy! 

CODEC 

If you have problems playing back files such as .MKV. You may also need to install a CODEC pack. I would recommend the CCCP Codec pack (It may have a Russian name but this should cover your CODEC needs and has no spam) 

Now, you can enjoy 3D YouTube movies on your Oculus Rift through Oculus Cinema.

Watch 3D Movies on Oculus Rift

The Rift is a virtual reality head-mounted display developed by Oculus VR. The Rift will be released in Q1 2016, making it one of the first consumer-targeted virtual reality headsets. Although many people don't have a Oculus Rift in hand, it doesn't prevent them from asking how to watch 3D movies on Oculus Rift? Here, this article will instruct you to the way of playing 3D movies with Oculus Rift DK 2.

Here we go:

  • Download and install VLC Player
  • Download and install VR Player
  • You then need to download the DK2 Tracker (Hosted here incase it is removed from where I got it from) for motion tracking within the player
  • Expand the .zip ( * See below in known issues if you have problems here)
  • Copy to the following location (or wherever you installed VR Player):
    C:\Program Files (x86)\VR Player\Trackers
  • Open up VR player and set the tracker that you just copied as follows:

Depending on the content you wish to view you have a few options. Here are some examples:

  • Set up Oculus as extended Desktop in the Rift Display Mode program.
  • Ensure your windows monitor is setup so your rift is secondary.
  • For 3D movies such as Avatar: 
    Menu - Media - Format - Side By Side 
    Menu - Media - Projection - Plane
  • If your movie is not 3D 
    Menu - Media - Format - Mono 
    Menu - Media - Projection - Plane
  • To open a movie select: 
    Menu - File - Open File - With VLC...

    If you have problems playing back files such as .MKV. You may also need to install a CODEC pack. I would recommend the CCCP Codec pack (It may have a Russian name but this should cover your CODEC needs and has no spam) 

Other VR apps recommend:

  • Homido 360 VR player
  • Cineveo VR (CINEVEO – Virtual Reality Cinema, the popular VR cinema app for Oculus Rift, is now available for Android with Cardboard VR support. Grab some popcorn, it's movie time! "CINEVEO offers a mind-blowing voyage into a new realm of movie entertainment and forever changes the way you will want to watch movies."
