Television is a convenient source of entertainment. with a wide screen TV, you can enjoy the blockbuster when it is availble on Blu-ray/DVD or streaming sites instead of going to the theater spending lots of money. And the appearance of 3D TVs allow people not only can enjoy normal 2D movie but also 3D movies at home. But since 3D TV has demand on 3D format and video resolution, you may meet video playback issue on 3D TV like below:

”Hello! I have a 1080P SBS mkv file, with a resolution of 3840*1080. I have that file in an external USB hard drive, connected with my Samsung Active 3D UE55H6400 smart tv. Whenever I try to play that 3d mkv file with my Samsung 3D TV I get the error that the resolution 3840*1080 is not supported. My TV is Active 3D Full HD. So why can’t I play the movie? Any ideas what I am doing wrong?”

Samsung Active 3D UE55H6400 is a top 3D TV that many users would like to choose. It comes a couple of pairs of Samsung’s SSG-5100 active shutter 3D eyewear. For those who love to watching 3D movies at home, Samsung 3D UE55H6400 Smart TV is a good choice. More thoroughly & accurately, the TV has to be able to handle/support:

1. USB
2. the Filesystem (FAT32, NTFS, etc)
3. the Container (MKV, MP4, AVI, etc)
4. the Video Codec (h.264, Divx/Xvid, MPEG2, DV, etc)
5. the Audio Codec (AAC, AC3, DTS, MP3, etc)
6. the Stereoscopic Layout (SbS, T/B, Interlaced, Dual-stream, Dual-File, etc)

If it does all those for the MKV files you’re using, you are good to go. If not, you will need to re-configure & (likely) recompress. In addition, if the source 3D MKV’s resolution is too big, normal 3D TVs including Samsung Active 3D UE55H6400 TV perhaps can’t handle. Simple as that. Most hardware decoders on 3D TVs have similar HD limitations (usu. due to economizing). Put it easier, if you want to play 3D MKV files on your Samsung Active 3D UE55H6400, make your 3D MKV files in 1-6 your 3D TV supports.

To solve the original question here, you can resize 3D MKV files to 1920×1080 (squeezed, HSBS) for Samsung Active 3D UE55H6400 TV. Half SBS must do the trick, but if you think you have an active 3D TV and would like to watch in Full HD (and not half the resolution). You can try Full SBS (aka 1920×2160). Those dimensions might still be within the decoders’ limitations of Samsung Active 3D UE55H6400 TV (depends on which profile/levels are supported). This way may make you  play a Full HD (1920*1080 for both eyes) 3D movie with the internal TV media player on Samsung Active 3D UE55H6400 TV.
