Solution to Can’t play .avi files on VLC

Camille Wesley No Comments

Whenever meeting video playback troubleshooting on Windows or Mac, people are accustomed to turn to VLC. It seems like VLC can play every video with any extension and codec. Unfortunately, VLC isn’t powerful as you imaged, even a AVI file can encounter playback issue on VLC. Let’s look at an example:

“VLC is crashing trying to playback AVI files created from a particular camera. These played back with 2.2.2. I’m not sure if all AVI files cause the problem.
The Camera is a WirePath WPS-750-DOM-IP security camera.
OS 10.11.5, iMac 27″ Retina 5k.”

Sometimes, some video playback troubleshooting can be solved easily with an update. So try to update to VLC 2.2.4 to create the crash. Normally, the update on VLC would solve “AVI Can’t Play” issue. Not only for AVI, but for MKV, MP4, especially for H.265 MP4, lower version VLC maybe meet playback troubles. When meet the trouble, just try to update VLC.

VLC Tips: Blu-ray to VLC |DVD to VLC |4K to VLC | 3D to VLC

Another solution to solve AVI issue on VLC is under the help of a third party application – video coverter. AVI is a video container supporting a range of video and codec. When AVI can be played on VLC, the main reason is the video codec incompatibility. So transcoding AVI to VLC with right A/V codec or just demux AVI to MP4 for VLC with video converter is a excellent way.

Pavtube iMedia Converter for Mac <Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate > is recommended here to help you re-encode AVI to VLC. It can remux AVI for VLC, or convert AVI to MP4/MKV for VLC. It can keep AVI format but change the video, audio codec, size, bitrate, frame rate, sample rate. It also can keep the original A/V parameters but output more compatible format for VLC. You can deinterlacing your original AVI file, trim/crop/split/merge your AVI videos and add subtitle to your AVI files. More features are in Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate review.

How to transcode AVI to VLC?

Note: The steps are suitable for both Windows and Mac products. But considering the platform is OS system (the questioner is using iMac 27″ Retina 5k), we take snapshot from Mac application.

Step 1: Add AVI files

Open the program, click “File” menu, from its drop-down option, select “Add Video/Audio” to load AVI videos to the program. You also can simply drag and drop AVI files to the interface of the app. Pavtube product supports batch conversion so you can add multiple AVI files.

Step 2: Choose output format for VLC

If you plan to re-encode AVI to VLC with more compatible format like MP4, just navigate to “Format” > “HD Video” > “H.264 HD Video (*.mp4)” as output file format.

Step 3: Adjust A/V parameters

When selected MP4 as the output format for VLC, you can open “Settings” window to check the settings. If you still keep AVI format in the former step, you maybe need to reset the settings to more compatible one for VLC.

Step 4: Start to convert AVI to VLC

After all the settings, just click “Convert” button to start to transcode AVI to VLC supported format. If you added many AVI files at the first step, you can turn on “Shut down computer after conversion”. Then you can go to sleep or do other things without waiting in front of the computer.

Follow the steps then you can easily fix “Can’t Play AVI on VLC” issues. For free, I suggest you to try the update method. But if you get a Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate/iMedia Converter for Mac, you also can solve MP4 trouble on VLC, audio issue on VLC, MKV bug on VLC, 4K/H.265 not playing problem on VLC. So it is a bargain, right?

Put All Torrent movies to iTunes Library for Apple TV Streaming

Camille Wesley No Comments

For a cinephile, people has many ways to enjoy movies: watch movies in the theater/on the TV, stream Blu-ray/DVD and download movies from torrent site. Many people like to stream the downloaded torrent movies on Apple TV 4/3/2/1 via iTunes then they don’t need to add the movie to the playlist one by one. However, not all torrent movies can be put into iTunes for Apple TV freely;

“I download torrents via Kickass Torrents and / or Lime Torrents and download the files with uTorrent. I want to watch via my AppleTV from iTunes to my living room television set but some movies can’t be put in, why?”

I think even though you don’t have an Apple product, you also know Apple product has its own ecosystem, which prevents iTunes store source from outflowing into other OS system devices and also keep strict requirement on the inpouring source. For videos, if you want to add external content to iTunes for Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, you should make sure your video is in the right format for iTunes: .m4v .mp4 .mov.

So if you can’t add torrent movies to iTunes, the main causes of failure probably is the format incompatibility. In the case, you need a video coverter to transcode the format to iTunes and Apple TV friendly ones.

Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate <Mac version> is strongly recommended here for its stability on Windows 10 and versatility. It can re-encode H.265, MKV, AVI, MP4, AVI,WMV, FLV, TS, VOB, AVCHD, M2TS, even Blu-ray, DVD to iTunes, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV compatible format. Apart from transcoding unsupported torrent movies to iTunes supported MP4, MOV, M4V video, this video converter also can output iPhone, iPad and Apple TV preset equipping with optimized A/V parameters. Of course, you also can adjust the video and audio codec, size, bitrate, channel, etc on your own.

It has many functions including video transcoding and video editing function, if you want to learn more about it, you can read its review. There are several features that deserve you to notice: batch conversion, adjust aspect ratio, choose desired subtitle, remove/replace audio, add external subtitle.

Handbrake 1.0.0 vs Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate : Which One Is Right for You?

Camille Wesley No Comments

When your videos are a mish-mash of video types and formats, you will get troubles in playing them on any device, anywhere you go. Possibly, you need a video transcoder to help you re-encode the video to right format. Handbrake is arguably the world’s best open-source video transcoder while Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate can get the crown as the best commercial video converter that help you convert video and rip your DVDs to your computer, your Android device or whatever you happen to own.

Handbrake vs Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate

The Introduce of Handbrake 1.0.0 and Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate

Handbrake: This application is the cross-platform, easy-to-use video ripping and encoding tool, took the top spot by a wide margin, with close to 70% of the overall vote. The highlight is that this video transcoding and DVD ripping tool is availability on multiple platforms, its ease of use and presets for quick conversions (as well as its more detailed options for advanced users), and its speed.

Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate: First of all, you need to know, as the closed-source, it covers all the functions of Handbrake. After all, it is a paid one Video Converter + DVD Ripper + Blu-ray Ripper + Audio Converter. To some degree, although it is a commercial video encoding tool, it deserves the price. It can convert video to another format, copy DVD and backup Blu-ray. You can get H.265, M3U8, MP4, MKV, M4V, AVI, etc video and MP3, FLAC, AAC, etc audio with this integrated powerful software.

Handbrake 1.0.0 vs Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate: Input, Output, Features

For some simple video conversion work, Handbrake can do it well. Regrettably is, as a open-source video encoding tool, it has some unavoidable disadvantages. I think there is no way better than comparing Handbrake with Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate to tell you the shortness of Handbrake.

Snapshot

Handbrake:

Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate

Seeing the interface of the two Video Converter software, do you feel that Handbrake’s GUI is a little be complex like me Not like Handbrake, Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate has a intuitive interface that make people know easily where to import source video, choose output format, start conversion. You even can find te edit and setting icon easily in the UI.

Input

Supported Files	Blu-ray	DVD	MP4	MKV	H.265	FLV	TS	M2TS	VOB
Handbrake	NO	Only Unprotected DVD	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES
Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES

As the most popular video transcoder, Handbrake can’t rip Blu-ray and copyright DVD. It only can handle .mkv, .flv, .m2ts, .mp4, .wmv, avi, .mod, etc and unprotected DVD .vob files. On the other hand, Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate can work in H.264/H.264, MP4, MOV, MKV, VOB, WMV, MPG, AVI, Divx, M4V, QT, FLV, F4V, ASF, 3GP, TS, MTS, M2TS, TP, TRP, MOV, MOD, TOD, MXF(partial), DV, M2V, 3G2, RM, RMVB, DAT, NUT, NSV and 3D Blu-ray movies, 2D Blu-ray movies, Blu-ray Folder, Blu-ray ISO Image File, DVD movies, DVD Folder, DVD IFO File, DVD ISO Image File.

Handbrake	NO	NO	YES	YES	NO	NO	NO	NO	NO
Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES

For some bizarre reason, you’ve probably used Handbrake. The biggest weakness of Handbrake is that it only can output H.264 and MPEG-4 MP4 and MKV. Generally, for normal people, these two formats should be able to meet their video playback need in that nearly all multimedia players and video editing tools support H.264 MP4.

However, although H.264 MP4 format almost can fulfill any device’s parameter demand, sometimes, H.264 MP4 isn’t the most compatible format for them. If you choose to use Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate to convert your video, you can get:

Common Video Formats:

MP4, AVI, WMV, MKV, MOV, M4V, VOB, DV, ASF, MPG, 3GP, 3G2, etc.

HD Video Formats:

MP4, MOV, MPG, MKV, WMV, TS, AVI, etc.

3D Video Formats:

4K Video:

4K MP4, 4K MKV.

Handbrake	NO	NO	YES	YES	NO	NO	NO	NO
Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES

Normal video converter applications in the market including Handbrake and Pavtube have some simple video editing functions like video trimming, cropping, watermark addition, adding subtitle, deinterlacing video, rotate video, adjust video contrast, vignette video, denoise video, etc. In the aspect of video edition function, Handbrake is no doubt weaker than Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate.

Advanced settings

Supported Settings	Video Codect	Video Size	Video Frame Rate	Video Bitrate	Audio Channel	Audio Size	Audio Sample Rate	Audio Bitrate
Handbrake	YES	NO	YES	NO	NO	NO	NO	NO
Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES	YES

It is obviously that in avcanced settings aspect, Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate would perform better cause it can enable users to adjust audio and video parameters like codec, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, audio channel while Handbrake allows peopel to reset video codec and frame rate only

Use Handbrake and Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate to Convert Video and Rip DVD

Handbrake User Guide:

Step 1: Open Handbrake and click on the “Source” button at the top left. Select DVD / VIDEO_TS folder from the drop down list. Then browse for the location where MakeMKV copied your movie. Select the folder, and click “OK.”

Step 2: You may be prompted to set a default path in Handbrake. This is an optional step. Click “OK.”

If you’d like to set a default destination folder, Go to Tools on the top menu, select Options. On the General tab, click “Browse” to select a destination output folder. Click “Close” when Finished.

Step 3: Next, click the dropdown list next to “Title.” Select the title that matches the length of the movie. It’s possible you may have see more than one title with a similar length. If so, consult the DVD information, or a site like IMDB.com, to find the proper movie title length. Select your container under Output Settings. This will be your final output file extension. We will be using MP4 for this example. You also have the option of MKV.

Step 4: If you didn’t set up a default destination folder, you’ll need to select one by clicking the “Browse” button. You can manually customize the output file name and change the output file extension to .mp4 (Unless you prefer the iPod friendly .m4v extension).

Settings

If converting exclusively for any of the devices listed in the preset list, simply click on that device and the settings will be automatically applied in the Output Settings tabs. For more Universal (non-Apple) devices or output, select the Normal profile.

The Video tab allows you to choose your codec. H.264 is the default. You also have the option to choose a target (output) size. The Constant Quality is recommended to be set between 59% – 63%. Anything over 70% will likely result in an output file larger than the input without any improved quality.

Step 5: When you’ve finished any customizations you are ready to begin the conversion process. Click “Start.”A Command window will open and you can follow the process. You’ll probably want to find something to do in the meantime as the process could take a couple of hours. When the process completes, you’re ready to watch your video.

Step 3: Once you have completed the video editing process, choose the output format in the "Format" drop-down list for your video, there are multiple different video and audio formats for you to choose from.

Step 4: If you could not find your desired output format from the output formats list, you can create your own custom format by clicking on “Settings” button as highlighted below. In the “Settings” window, choose the video/audio settings according to your requirement.

Convert VC1 to H.264 for playback on Open Hour Chameleon

Camille Wesley No Comments

Some video fans might want to play VC1 files on Open Hour Chameleon. However, they need to convert VC1 to H.264 first. Before discussing how to convert VC1 files to play on Open Hour Chameleon, we’d like to introduce what VC1 and Open Hour Chameleon are since some users might not know it well.

About VC1

VC-1, which was initially developed as a proprietary video format by Microsoft. It is today a supported standard found in Blu-ray Discs, Windows Media, Microsoft’s Silverlight framework, Slingbox, and the now-discontinued HD DVD.

About Open Hour Chameleon

A positive first step for this premium Android-based TV streamer, with a polished hardware specification inside and out, and vast app support courtesy of the Google Play Store. It’s not yet the finished article though, with DTS & Dolby audio support in particular an issue. But the Chameleon has an abundance of potential and with the right focus, could be a fantastic media and gaming partner for your big screen.

Symptoms in Playing VC1 on Open Hour Chameleon

I’m just trying to get my head around the 23 976 issue: So far I have found that all of my 23 976 files play fine when the codec is H 264. However when playing remuxed VC1 files at 23 976 is when I experience slow play and tons of dropped frames. Is this the issue that others are experiencing with 23 976 or is my situation unique? Why VC1 files will not play on Open Hour Chameleon smoothly?

How to Play DVD movies with Windows Media Player

Camille Wesley No Comments

Have collected a bunch of DVD movies and hope to insert them to Windows Media Player for direct playing? However, most of the questions that you might encounter are Can Windows Media Player play DVDs? How to play DVD with Windows Media Player? How to solve WMP playing DVD error. However, this is not to say that Windows Media Player is faulty when it comes to playing a DVD. Just like any other media player there are problems that people do encounter and sometimes they lack the knowledge when it comes to using WMP for playing DVD purpose.

Can Windows Media Player play DVDs?

In Windows Media Player, you can play audio CDs, data CDs, and data DVDs that contain music or video files (also known as media CDs). If you have a DVD drive and a compatible DVD decoder installed on your computer, you can use Windows Media Player to play a DVD-Video disc—this is the type of DVD that movies are distributed on. If you are using a version of Windows 7 that supports DVD playback, you should be able to load the DVD in Windows Media Player without issue. The real frustration is that DVD playback has been removed from Windows 8 and Windows 10. That’s to say, the Windows Media Player packed on Windows 8/10 cannot play DVD movies out of the box.

How to play DVD with Windows Media Player

*Click the Start button > Select Control Panel on the start menu. For Windows 8/Windows 10 users you can simply search the Start Menu for “Control Panel” and it will show right up in the list.

*In the search box > type troubleshooter > click Troubleshooting.

*Click view all in the left pane > click Windows Media Player DVD.

It will probably lead to this window (see below) to ask you to install a Windows Media Player DVD decoder.

In case there are a lot of unsolved problems that you are experiencing every now and again when it comes to playing DVD with Windows Media Player, there are better solutions below that you can adopt so that you can continue to enjoy your DVD videos and troubleshoot a DVD that won’t play on WMP.

> Check Correct DVD Titles on Windows Media Player

Solution for DVD not working with Windows Media Player

Solution 1.

If the DVD is from another region, there’s a very good chance that it will not play. This is because regions are hard-coded into DVD drives to help fight piracy. To play DVDs from other regions, you’ll need to flash your DVD player’s firmware, which is not recommended unless absolutely necessary.

> See how to remove DVD region code

Solution 2:

Your drive may be physically failing. If this is the case, you’ll need to install a replacement. See How to Install a DVD Drive for details.

Solution 3:

If you get a message that says that your computer is missing a codec or that you require a DVD decoder, you are probably trying to play, burn, or sync a file that was compressed by using a codec that Windows or the Player doesn’t include by default.

Click “Go Online to learn how to obtain a DVD decoder” and then check the Microsoft recommended Windows Media Player DVD decoder such as CinePlayer DVD Decoder and Advanced Corel DVD Decoders. But those WMP DVD decoder are all costing around $ 15. For more information about codecs, see frequently asked questions about codecs.

Solution 4:

There is lots of Windows Media Player DVD decoder for free downloading on the download sites and all claim to be the best solution to fix Windows Media Player not playing DVD. But the safety cannot be guaranteed. Those free add-ons and Plug-ins are the least you should be trust cuz they may containing virus and create continuous ads. But there is still solution 4 – replace Windows Media Player with another more powerful Windows DVD player freeware.

If you have another DVD player program installed, it may be messing up Windows Media Player. Either use the other DVD player, or uninstall the program so that Windows Media Player works properly again.

P.S.

a. Keep in mind, if you rip the DVD to another common format and playback it on WMP, you may hear audio but no video picture displayed, which means the video codec isn’t installed. You need to install extrac codec pack to solve the issue. That’s why we prefer to choose WMV, a format developed by Microsoft.

a. ByteCopy also helps you to convert videos to mobile devices supported formats, such as iPhone, iPad, iPod, Samsung Galaxy, etc.

c. In profile settings, you are allowed to adjust video and audio codec, size, channels, etc for better video quality. You also can set to preserve 5.1 channels when copying DVD to Windows Media Player.

Step 3. Start converting DVD on Windows Media Player

In the end, you just need to click the “Convert” button start the conversion. When the converting process ends, you can open output folder to check and play converted DVD videos in Windows Media Player with the best quality. Enjoy.

How to Add items to the Windows Media Player Library

There are several methods you can use to add files to your Player Library:

Monitoring folders: When you start the Player for the first time, it automatically searches certain default folders included in the Music, Pictures, Videos, and Recorded TV libraries on your computer. If you ever add or remove files from these media libraries, the Player will automatically update its available media files. You can also include new folders in your Windows libraries from other locations on your computer or from removable storage devices.

Add media files that you play: When you play a media file on your computer or from a removable storage device, the file is automatically included in your Player Library so you can access it directly from the Player. And if you have access to remote media files stored on other computers on your network, you can change the Player’s settings to add these remote files to your Player Library when you play them.

Windows 10 Tip: Find Windows Media Player

To find WMP, click Start and type: media player and select it from the results at the top.

Alternately, you can right-click the Start button to bring up the hidden quick access menu and choose Run or use the keyboard shortcut Windows Key+R. Then type: wmplayer.exe and hit Enter.

If you plan on using it a lot, you might want to pin it to the Taskbar while you’re here. To do that, right-click on it and select Pin to taskbar, Pin to Start, or both.

Windows Media Player hasn’t changed at all since its last update to version 12 in Windows 7. So, if you recently upgraded from Windows 7 to 10, and aren’t quite ready to use the new apps, you’ll be happy to see its familiar UI.

Personally, I would have like to see at least a fresh coat of paint on the WMP interface. However, it’s obvious that Microsoft is phasing out some of its legacy software for the new universal apps instead.

When you first dive into Windows 10, you’ll find that your media is already set to open in its new universal apps (Groove, Photos, Movies & TV). But if you want to stick with WMP, you can set it as your default player by adjusting file associations.

It’s also worth noting that while DVD support has been taken away, support for FLAC and MKV files is added to Windows 10, and you can use WMP for that.

Help You Play 2K and 4K MKV on Surface Book 2/1 with no limits

Camille Wesley No Comments

Cannot Play 2K/4K MKV Videos on Surface Book 2/1?

Microsoft is rumored to be releasing the Surface Book 2 in 2016 or 2017, which is likely to sport a 13.5-inch screen with 4K resolution support and its performance is said to be improved with better battery life and graphics support. However, it has been complained for incapability of playing 2K/4K MKV videos on Surface Book (2).

What programs would you guys recommend to play 4k and 2k mkv files on Surface Book? VLC is limping along with a ton of visual artifacts.

– I hope there are 3rd party apps or driver updates for the Surface Book 2/1 to play more than just mp4 and avi format. Can’t believe it won’t play MKV out of the box.

– When I click play now, the program indicates ‘now playing’. However, there is no sound or video playback. Does anyone know what this conflict is with Windows 10 Surface Book and my mkv videos?

– Any Apps for Surface Book 2/1 that can play .mkv files smoothly?

– What is the best MKV file Media Player for Surface Book (2) in the Windows store?

Reason Why MKV can’t be played on Surface Book 2/1

MPEG-4, H.264, H.263, MEPG-2, VC-1, WMV 9 can be supported by Surface Book (2), but MKV, the Matroska Multimedia Container is a media format that can hold a number of video, audio and subtitle tracks in one single file, and serves as a popular format for storing movies or TV shows. It is not included in the Surface Book 2/1 supported video formats list, this is why MKV is not supported by Surface Book 2/1. Living up to the promise to provide native support of MKV codec in Windows 10, the inability to play MKV files without MKV codec on Surface Book 2/1 seems to remain there unchanged.

Which is the best way to play MKV files on Surface Book 2/1? We’ll see here.

Surface Book 2/1 can open MKV when getting the help from additional programs, like MKV player for Surface Book and MKV to Surface Book converter. Here, we will show you the best program to enable MKV playback on Surface Book 2/1, to help you play MKV files on Surface Book (2) tablets, including MKV files backed up from Blu-ray, downloaded online, received from others, etc.

Download Surface Book 2/1 MKV Player? No Hurry

When we have some MKV files for playing on Surface, going to Google Play and downloading an Surface Book MKV player seems to be the most direct way the majority could think of.

Option 1: PressPlay Video

Editor rating: 8.4| User rating: 7.5| Supported OS: Windows 8.1, Windows 10

Overviews: PressPlay Video is a free media player for Windows 8 providing the best experience for playing your local MKV and FLV files. It is a full featured Windows 8 MKV player that supports advanced touch, mouse and keyboard controls. Integrated with an explorer, it also displays the folders in your libraries, portable devices, HomeGroup and media servers.

Pros: Easy to use; play MKV/FLV videos side-by-side; remember playing position; advanced touch, mouse and keyboard controls.

Cons: Often start with an error message.

Option 2: DAPlayer

Editor rating: 8.5| User rating: 7.7| Supported OS: Windows 8/8.1/10/7, Mac OS

Overviews: DAPlayer is a sleek and powerful MKV player that comes with 400+ video and audio codecs, so that you can play almost any video on Windows 8/8.1 64 bit or 32 bit. Thanks to the support for high definition video, you are allowed to watch full HD 1080p MKV, AVCHD, H264 videos with this free MKV player for Windows 8. Besides, DAPlayer provides a wide selection of configuration options.

Pros: Play lots of video audio formats; support more than 400 built-in codecs; Complete setting menu.

Cons: The default skin is too dark to browse.

And unfortunately, there are only few apps that bolster MKV playback on Windows Store, excluding those paid ones. So we particularly compiled the best free MKV players for Windows 8, 8.1 64/32 bit.

There is no denying that it is a fix, but you need to figure out a few things before any further.

1. Installing an extra player on storage-limited Surface will take up precious memory footprint and may make your device run slower. Do you really need to use a special video player just to play a few MKV files on Surface Book 2/1?

2. Most players are not compatible with all video audio codecs. Even if a player is advertised to support for MKV file format, it may be unable to play all MKV files flawlessly. This is also why some people submitted posts online saying “Surface Book player play MKV with DTS without sound”, “Surface player play MKV with sound only, but in a black screen” or other similar questions.

Play MKV on Surface Book 2/1 Using MKV Converter

Apart from downloading MKV player on Surface Book, a video converter that can convert MKV files and others to Surface Book will be also a good solution. Besides MKV, you are likely to meet other formats incompatible with your Surface Book (2) and your player.

If you try to use HandBrake to free convert MKV to Surface Book (2), you will find there is no specific profile for Surface, since HandBrake is no more than a video transcoder freeware for Apple (and has few Android profiles).

To play 2K/4K video (.mkv) on Surface Book (2) tablet, there is another video tool that can do it for you. As one of the alternatives of Handbrake, Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate converts MKV to Surface Book 2/1 supported MPEG4, AVI or WMV video file in low, mid and high video resolutions, and it compress 2K/4K movie size to fit for Surface Hub. Only several mouse clicks are required: load downloaded 2K/4K movies -> select output profile for Surface Book -> hit “Start conversion” to begin compressing/converting -> once finished, simply transfer the compressed/converted movies to Surface Book.

Meanwhile, this tool also enables you to convert MKV to all popular mobile devices directly, like Surface Book 2/1, Surface RT, Surface Pro, Samsung Galaxy Note 5/S7, iPhone SE/6S/6S Plus, Kindle Fire, Google Nexus, etc. In addition to help play MKV on Surface Book 2/1, it can also help play other incompatible videos like AVI, FLV, MOV on Surface Book 2/1 with no limits via converting.

Tip. About 3D Blu-ray movies

Let’s know more about 3D movies. A 3D or 3-D (three-dimensional) film is a motion picture that enhances the illusion of depth perception. Derived from stereoscopic photography, a regular motion picture camera system is used to record the images as seen from two perspectives, and special projection hardware and/or eyewear are used to provide the illusion of depth when viewing the film.

What is Blu-ray 3D?

In December 2009, the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) finalized the specification for 3D content on Blu-ray Disc. BD 3D delivers full HD 1080p resolution to each eye, regardless of whether that display uses LCD, plasma, or LED technology. With 3D on Blu-ray, each eye gets its own 1,920×1,080-pixel image. These 2 images are combined into one extra-tall frame.

To enjoy Blu-ray 3D via your computer, you need:

1. 3D HDTV (with 3D glasses);

2. 3D media player software (like PowerDVD, Total Media Theatre);

a. PowerDVD

PowerDVD is the No. 1 Media Player for playback Blu-ray, 3D Video & HD Movie on Windows platform. Its Unique TrueTheater enhancements let you not only enjoy a vivid 3D movie, but also converts 2D content into 3D, offering a whole new viewing experience for content such as Blu-ray HD movies, slideshows, YouTube videos and more. The depth of the 3D experience can be optimized with easy slider controls to get the best results from your 3D display.

b. Total Media Theatre

Total Media Theatre is another Blu-ray playback software for enjoy Blu-ray as well as 3D movies on your computer. It allows you to play 3D movies and video files including Blu-ray 3D movies. You can create 3D videos in real-time from 2D videos and DVDs via its patent Sim3D technology. So does the 2D image playback. Other feature like adjusting the depth perception to customize your 3D experience is also available. It is the most user-friendly Blu-ray player software as reviewed from a lot of users.

3. Blu-ray drive

4. 3D Blu-ray movies.

What kind of video file is used for 3D Blu-ray?

The Blu-ray Disc Association has chosen the Multiview Video Coding (MVC) codec to store 3D, so that even though it provides a full 1080p frame for each eye, it will only require about 50% more storage space compared to the 2D version, and all 3D discs will be fully backward compatible, in 2D, on existing players.

Do I have to wear glasses? What kind?

The viewer still has to wear polarized glasses, but in Blu-ray 3D, the glasses have LCD active shutters that are synchronized with signals from the TV. The shutters rapidly block the right- and left-eye views alternately so each eye receives the correct image. This technology provides higher resolution than simpler X-Pol glasses because in Active Shutter technology, each eye sees all the lines in the video, whereas in X-Pol each eye sees only half the lines.

Do I need a new screen to watch Blu-ray 3D?

Yes. A BD 3D compatible screen is required to view 3D content. The new screens have higher refresh rates and IR transmitters that work with the Active Shutter glasses. 3D screens can also display 2D content.

Do I need a special Blu-ray Player?

Yes. 3D – compatible Blu-ray Disc players will be marked with the BD 3D logo. These are known as Profile 5 players.

Do I need to shoot stereoscopic video to create Blu-ray 3D?

You can create original content in stereoscopic 3D, or you can add the 3D effect to 2D video by creating an offset image in post production.

How do I author a 3D Blu-ray Disc?

The basic authoring concepts for Blu-ray Disc carry over from 2D to 3D. Sony Creative Software’s DoStudio and Blu-print have support for 3D authoring.

Are Blu-ray Disc menus in 3D?

The BDA defines a specification for 3D menus in HDMV mode and BD-J.

3D Movie on VR Headset Playback Guides, Tips and Solutions

Camille Wesley No Comments

The advent of Oculus VR & Samsung Gear VR has further boosted the VR craze started by Google Cardboard and other VR devices. The popular formats used for watching videos are either SBS (Side By Side 3D) or 360-Degrees. If you want a fresh bite of the awesome 3D VR experience on Gear VR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, VR One…, chances are here for you to learn VR Headset 3D Movie FAQs including knowledge of 3D Movie on VR Headset Playback Guides, Tips and Solutions, etc.

To Watch 3D VR Movies on VR Headset, What Do I Need?

The 3D VR movie you found on YouTube is split into 2 pictures since a pair of 3D VR glasses can work with the split images to create immersive Virtual Reality. So, just like watching 3D movies on computer, in order to watch 3D VR movies VR Headset like Gear VR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, VR One…, you need:

1. A pair of 3D VR glasses (Or 3D VR headset)

A 3D VR equipment turns any blurs, double images, distortions of a virtual video/3D VR games into touchable, interactive experience that we call reality. Without such a gadget, you won’t be able to immerse into the full scenario of a horror movie or gunplay, or interact with any object that conjures out of VR 3D.

2. A 3D VR movie

Note: A VR video player would be a must to play 3D VR movies on computer. Alternatively, if you want to watch VR videos on iPhone, you may download a VR APP like Discovery VR for iOS. If you use a Samsung or Android phone to watch 3D VR movies, Smash Hit for Samsung Gear VR, Cardboard for Android Phone would be good to go.

Create Your Own VR Video for VR Headset, How to Realize?

We can save any content on the microSD Galaxy Note 4 or S6/S7 or sync to iPhone via iTunes for using in 3D glasses, but you must be placed in the appropriate format. Because of the playable format of the 3D glasses have strict requirements, such as: some MKV movie files(downloaded from Internet or some raw Blu-ray rips in MKV) in 2D or 3D SBS(Side-by-Side) work on VR headsets, but the audio has to be encoded in AAC or MP3 for stereo. AC3 audio and DTS Dolby don’t seem to work. Some YouTube downloaded FLV are not workable in VR headsets like Google Cardboard, Gear VR, VR One, etc. What’s more, 2D/3D Blu-ray or DVD are not supported by VR headsets obviously, we need the best 3D Movie Converter for VR Headsets to do 3D Video conversion firstly.

Top VR Headset 3D Movie FAQs

Below is a easy-to-understand VR Headset 3D Movie FAQs, check it out!

Q: Can I wear my eye glasses with the 3D VR GLASSES when watching 3D movie?

A: A lot of people who wear glasses find that they don’t need to with our headset because the lenses can be adjusted. Although the adjustment is left/right (so you can match the lenses to where your pupils are), we have found it is often all the adjustment you need.

Q: Where can I find the 3D VR GLASSES app?

A: We have not yet announced when a native app for 3D VR GLASSES Start will be released. Right now, you can go to google play or Apple APP store to see the best videos, apps and experiences that can be enjoyed on the headset. (Be sure to sign up to receive updates as we add more cool stuff.)

Q: What kind of content is available for the 3D VR GLASSES?

A: The headset works with several different types of content:

1. Apps built for 3D VR GLASSES

2. Google Cardboard apps (because we have capacitive-touch inputs)

3. Any videos that are set up for side-by-side viewing on a mobile phone (e.g., YouTube videos set up for 3D viewing)

> See Media Formats Supported by Gear VR Software

Q: For Christmas, my 11 year old son requested a Viewmaster VR headset to use on my G4.. How to play my purchased DVD on that VR headset. Has anyone tried them, or any other reasonably priced goggles that are better?

Q: What is it like to watch a movie (2D or 3D) on Oculus Rift? What kind of experience do you get?

A: There is a free application on the Oculus share page called VR Cinema. It easily let’s you play 2d or 3d movie files on the Rift, while putting you in a virtual movie theatre. You can even walk around the theatre and sit in any seat you like. Though, because the 3d effect of the Rift is so many magnitudes beyond the 3d effect of typical blockbuster films, the 3d effect from within VR Cinema is sort of lackluster in my opinion. A much more compelling experience is true made-for-Rift content, which actually makes you feel like you are there.

There are two ways to watch your own video content in the “My Videos” section of Oculus Cinema with Gear VR via Galaxy S7/S7 Edge. First, any movies you record using your Galaxy Galaxy S7/S7 Edge′s camera will automatically appear in the “My Videos” section. The other way is to copy Gear VR compatible video files directly to your Galaxy S7/S7 Edge phone or SD card in any of the following directories:

On your phone’s internal storage (Galaxy S7/S7 Edge):
/DCIM/
/Movies/
/Oculus/Movies/

On your phone’s removable SD card (Card):
/DCIM/
/Movies/
/Oculus/Movies/

On a PC, your S7/S7 Edge’s storage can be accessed from Windows Explorer by simply plugging in the USB data/charging cable – no software is required. On a Mac, files can be transferred to your phone using Android File Transfer (https://www.android.com/filetransfer/), which is a free utility provided by Google.

When downloading 3D movies, you’ll notice that they come in either Side-by-Side (SBS) format, which comes in Full SBS and Half SBS, or Over/Under (or Top/Bottom) format. For the non-techie people, they refer to the resolution of the movies and the way the two frames are separated (vertically for the former and horizontally for the latter).

A Side-by-Side format comes in 1920 x 1080. Full SBS nets you the full resolution in both frames, while Half SBS gives you 960 x 1080 for each frame. On the other hand, the Over/Under format comes in 1280 x 720, with each frame coming in at 1280 x 360.

The Gear VR automatically assumes that all files in the “3D” folder are in the SBS format. If you have a movie in Over/Under format, you must create a text file to have it correctly read. Simply copy and paste the following to Notepad and save it in the EXACT name of the movie:

{
“format”: “3DTB”
}

Yes, the quotes are included. So, Over/Under movies in your 3D movies folder should have two accompanying files: the .png file for the poster image (assuming you got one) and the aforementioned text file.

Except for that last part which borders on the technical side, watching movies on your Gear VR is a simple matter. All you really need to do is copy your movies in the correct folder and you’re good to go.

Convert 2D, 3D TB Video to 3D SBS MP4/MKV for Gear VR viewing via Galaxy S7

Just like we said above, the perfect compatible 3D for Gear VR is SBS MKV and MP4. So if you have some 3D movies download from YIFY, YouTube, forfree3d.com, 3dmoviesstreaming.com or you have some 3D Blu-ray, DVD and want to view these videos on Gear VR via Galaxy S7/S7 Edge, you can use a video transcoder to re-encode videos to 3D SBS for Gear VR.

We aforementioned that we love to use Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate to convert unsupported video to 3D SBS MP4/MKV for Gear VR. Because it can rip all Blu-ray/DVD to 3D SBS MP4/MKV for Gear VR and convert any 4K/SD/HD video, TV shows and music dramas to 3D SBS video for Gear VR viewing on S7/S7 Edge. It offers three kinds of 3D effect: SBS, TB and Anaglyph and can switch 3D effect to another. It can transfer AC3/DTS audio to AAC/MP3 audio file accepted by Gear VR software without quality loss.

Steps to convert videos to 3D SBS video for Gear VR

Step 1: Import source video.

Run this 3D Video Converter for Gear VR (Mac version)on your computer. For disc-based concent,insert your 3D/2D Blu-ray/DVD movie to disc drive, and click “Load from disc” button to load Blu-ray or DVD from ROM. For video file, click the “Add video” button, browse to computer hard drive and import video into this app.Batch conversion feature allows you to import multiple source videos to converted to Gear VR.

Step 2: Select 3D SBS format for Gear VR

Tap on “Format” bar and find “3D Video”, there are a lot of format options for you. “MP4 Side-by-Side 3D Video (*.mp4)” is recommended for Samsung Gear VR.Or you can choose 3D SBS MKV for Gear VR playing with Galaxy S7/S7 Edge.

Tip: We recommend using 1280×720 HD resolution to encode your videos. Higher resolutions will not provide any better quality, meaning you’ll waste space and processing power.

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.

While H.264 is the recommended video coding, H.265 videos can also be played.

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.

You can click “Settings” near the “Format” to adjust the video resolution and bitrate to get more compatible format with Gear VR.

Step 3: Convert 3D Content to SBS 3D MP4 for Gear VR

Click “Convert” button, video to SBS 3D MP4 or 3D SBS MKV conversion begins. When the process finishes, open the output folder to locate the 3D SBS video for Gear VR.

Now, setup your Gear VR and put these converted SBS 3D MKV/MP4 video files in the ‘MyVideos’ folder miscroSD of VR Gear and start your theatric 3D experience at home!
