[Q] Watch .avi .mp4 movies smoothly, possible?

Hi,
I'm going on hollydays tomorrow but I would like to see "Touch" episodes while I'm away...
I'm playing the episodes with mobo player, mxplayer or qqplayer but none of them plays smoothly as it should... Dunno ifour ace can do it, but I would like to try.
I'm running on 799mhz, apocalypse with non ovc firekernel.
Cheers

This player plays verrry smooth as long as it is not more that 720p

Tryed it and it plays the same way the others I mentioned...
Damn, I really would like to see this but I guess its because of the video quality.. I can only find hdtv quality, that's why

Ahh yes it's cuz the quality is too good for the ace processor....

Convert them to a lower quality with some software...

U know any software to do that?

Video editing software would work best like sony vegas pro 10 or after efects cs6 but cost money so try Googling hdpi to sd video converter
Also there are apps that convert videos for ace spesifiekly Google

If you are using MX player,select sw(software decoding) for files other than mp4.

SOLVED:
Downloaded xilisoft hd video converter and converted to a lower quality (still great quality), mx player is running it now!
Thank you both

[Q] Can it play high bitrate 1080p videos?

I am thinking of getting this phone. I would like to know if it can play high bitrate MKV/MP4/TP/TS video files (like music videos of 1GB size). Anyone tried this yet?
I would also like to know if it can handle 10bit videos as well though I think this will be based on the app/player....
Thanks!
4sashi got loads of HQ music videos which you can try

Video quality in this phone is satisfactory. I'm playing some 1080 HD videos/movies with MX player and Movies app with no problems so far... Out of topic..can you give me a site which has HD quality pictures?

Sorry i dont have a site for that. Would you mind if you download something from the bluray mvs from 4sashi and try it out in sp?

cmon guys
need your help on this

The 1080p videos recorded by the SP are of 20mbps bitrate (much higher than most movies/tv episodes) and they play back just fine
I watched some game of thrones 1080p episodes, 2.2gb in size each and they played fine

Dude my internet is too slow to download blu-ray vids, but i downloaded some 1080p 60fps vids. I'll try it later.

thanks guys
will be waiting for more updates regarding the 60fps video you mentioned
i will also try to look for shops with demo units

You can play videos with 40mbps bitrate,
but 1080p 60fps videos are freezing and bouncing on stock player

i am really interested to know if it can handle music videos (1 gigabytes in file size)....
I have a couple of TS and TP files with file sizes of 1-2 gigabytes and based on media info, they have an average of 36000kbps bit rate. (note they are only music videos of around 3-5 minutes in length)
i am just too lazy to convert my video files thats why i am asking this.
even my e8400 is suffering from frame skips when trying to play them :cyclops:
anyways im off to check this phone for myself hehe

I played some 1920 x 1080 videos and it worked fine.
However, my phone can't handle the video with 1080p 60fps.The Audio skips and the video is quite laggy ..
The only phone i know that can play heavy 4k videos so far is the Z1

ok so i went ahead got this phone
it just cant play some of my videos hehehe
i used mxplayer by the way
oh well just need to convert them again...
thanks guys
still i am quite satisfied with this phone
now i need to root my phone..... and some other stuff

Plays 1080p
I have Xperia SP,I've tested a couple 1080p videos that I downloaded,ran them pretty well;no problems
---------- Post added at 07:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------
I've had a Galaxy mini 2 and I rooted and unrooted it,but My new SP;don't think that I'm gonna root it

After a year using this phone...
1-Support 720p & 1080p up to 40Mbps bitrate(BluRay.ts using MX player with custom codec)
2-Support 720p at 60fps without lagging both on MX player or Stock player (Bravia might not working,Work only on first 10 second)

How to watch 3D Movies on Gear VR

Step 1 - Create a folder called 3D under Oculus / Movies / My Videos /
[it'll look like this Oculus / Movies / My Videos / 3D]
Step 2 - Put your 3D movie in that new folder.
Step 3 - Get into Oculus Cinema and go to my videos. It'll be labled 3D on the top corner and the video will merge the two views when you watch it.
PS - I moved the whole Oculus folder from the gear vr sd card to my previous sd card. And I still don't know how to watch youtube other than downloading it from youtube and placing it in the 3D folder.
Have fun!

Is there a particular 3D format that is recommended for Note 4/Gear VR combination?
Thanks,

Surething!
Cough , For movies I already own, I just torrent any "3D" Movies. I heard Gravity looks awesome in 3D.

So basically any SBS mkv should work right? How is the movie experience? Is it worth the 200$*add-on?

The experience is out of this world. Haven't had any real VR experience before and it is crazy awesome. It's very immersive, enough to trick my mind to thinking i'm actually there in 3d space. Like that one mogolian hut scene as well as the circus were very real. I see huge potential in this thing. Oh, about watching movies, yeah, you're in a virtual cinema which is really cool cause the lighting of the movie lights up the whole interior just like in the real movies. Youre gonna love it. yes, it's worth 200.
edit: haven't tried mkvs. The two 3d movies I had were mp4 and they worked.

Is there an app that allows you to watch the movies without the virtual cinema surroundings, as in just the movie in 3D? That's basically what I'm buying it for, so it would be good to know if it works without any sort of extra fluff that isn't needed.

Yes, there are 4 options for the cinema setting. One is a blank dark screen so you don't see the seats etc.

You can do that in the Void Cinema within the Oculus Cinema and also in the VR Gallery app.

Not sure if you got this working yet, but did you create the 3d folder as "3d" or "3D" - not sure if it's case sensitive.

MKV and AVI video works but NOT audio! It only works with mp4 (which are also what all the stock videos are). Anyone know how to get audio to work with other files???
Update: I can play the same 3D (SBS) MKV or AVI files with a regular app and audio is great. (also louder than VR app) If I place in front of the VR without plugging in I can watch the video in 3D fine.

Ok figured it out. If the movie is a sbs movie lets say gravity.mp4 then create a file called gravity.txt in that file put this
{
"format": "3D"
}
This works every time for me. In the oculus cinema app, under my videos you'll see the movie and it will say 3d in the top right corner

What regular app do you mean? Do you mean a video player app outside of VR?

Perry, I'm not sure if this might be the cause but like I said, your folder is not even named correctly to begin with. It's NOT myvideos folder. It's my videos folder. There is a space between my and videos. You dont need all that txt crap. Gravity works 3d, ive already watched guardians of the galaxy 3d on it.

I was just going by what oculus support wrote for the gear vr bro. The my videos thing was typo on my part, my bad. Worked for me thought I'd share. This is per their site
https://support.oculus.com/hc/en-us/articles/204372193-Watching-Your-Videos-in-Oculus-Cinema
For 3D video content, Oculus Cinema supports the side-by-side and top-to-bottom formats. To designate that a file is 3D, create a text file with the same file name as your video and place it in the same directory. For instance, for mymovie.mp4, create a text file mymovie.txt, with the following content:
{
"format": "3D"
}
Where the format can be any one of:
“3D” : 3D movie side-by-side
“3DLR” : 3D movie side-by-side (same as “3D”)
“3DLRF” : 3D movie side-by-side full screen
“3DTB” : 3D movie top-to-bottom
“3DTBF” : 3D movie top-to-bottom full screen
The next time you launch Oculus Cinema, your video should automatically appear in the “My Videos” section. If it doesn't, please check the instructions and try again.

Correct. For example MX Player will play MLK and AVI with audio fine. Oculus only plays mp4 with audio.

How was your experience watching movies? Any headaches or feelings of disorientation afterwards? Just curious.... I can't watch 3D movies in the theater because I get headaches from the glasses. Just wondering how it would be on this type of device....

I have excellent experience with 3d and regular movies. I never had a headache using polarized glasses in movie theather. Lcd glasses sometimes makes me uncomfortable. As gear vr goes there is no glasses so there is no ghosting. Each eye receives separate picture with refresh rate around 60 hz.

Once you have your headset locked in that sweet spot it looks amazing, especially when viewed with the fake theater mode (maybe because it gives the illusion of depth?). By the way, I agree with you on the theater headaches and I do not experience it with this Gear :good:
Headaches: Nope
Disorientation: Not when I'm watching a movie or mindfully walking around, but after a session of Anshar Wars I sometimes forget which way I am facing S:

That's good to know! Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to hear it is a different type of experience. Now I just need to decide whether to upgrade my S4 to the Note 4 just for this ability! Or if I should wait for the Galaxy S6 and hope it is compatible as well?

I have a 3d tv & 100" 3d projector screen used with active glasses, i don't have a problem watching 3d on ether, A couple of my friends dont like to use the glasses so we only watch 2d together,
for me, the GVR movies have less flicker than they have with active glasses so its more comfortable to watch.
they look great, no problems so far with headaches or sickness & i wil be interested to see what my friends that do have problems with my big screen 3d think about the GVR 3d movies...
I will post back once they had a go....
only thing with the GVR is the screen door effect, most noticeable on peoples faces in movies, but as screens get better so should the problem.

Watching this 3D demo in the Oculus CInema, especially in the Void Cinema is simply amazing. I downloaded the 1080p version and in this video i can hardly see or think about the screen door effect. Watch the video till the ending.

I think you need to add _TB to the end of the movie file!
Also said i would report back about the people i know that got sick watching 3d on my home cinema, & people with sight problems.
one of them was my mother-in-law, she needs glasses all the time but said the GVR looked great to her & she didn't feel she needed to use glasses.
my other mate has a bad eye and cant watch 3D on the TV (active),,, he also said the GVR 3D moves looked great to him & had no problems with sickness or headaches
The last mate to try uses glasses all the time also, he said the GVR was "SICK" in a good way
He did have problems with some of the small text!

"I think you need to add _TB to the end of the movie file!"
haven't found anything that helped...only get side by side, not 3d video.

add .3DTB or try .3DTBF
3DTBF = full-screen 3D, i.e stretched side by side
3DTB = normal SBS i.e no stretching of the picture

If you want to watch a 3D movie in TopBottim format in the Oculus Cinema, create a text file with the same name as the movie. In the text file write:
{
"format": "3DTB"
}
or
{
"format": "3DTBF"
}
Depending on the video format if fullscreen or not. if you want to watch a 3D 360° video in TopBottom format, put the videofile in the 360video folder and rename the movie to "moviename_TB.mp4" for over-under or "moviename_LR.mp4" for side by side 3D.

So that you can watch a 3D movie in the Oculus Cinema, you have to go to Oculus -> movies -> My videos -> And then create a sub folder called 3D (not 3d). Now put your 3D movie in this newly created 3D folder and it should work when you have a side by side 3D video. If you have a Topbottom video, you have to create also a text file, as i described in my post above.

Thanks for both comments.: they are extremely helpful.

The easiest way is to put them in folder: oculus/movies/trailers/3D and your movies going to be among others in trailers section of oculus cinema. I noticed that side by side dont need any aditional letters to be added to file name. Simple "namehere.mp4" works.

Thanks for simplifying this process for me... Guess my reading comprehension leaves much to be desired... 3d movies can look spectacular in vr cinema. With one video, I even have to strain to see pixels. Now testing different settings in handrake to find best combination for optimal experience.

No problem, regarding video encoding Oculus recommends the following:
We recommend using 1280x720 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 1920x1080 compressed side*-by-*side 3D should be resampled to 1920x540 resolution full side*-by*-side resolution.

Their rationale on video resolution is disturbingly flawed for their own product.
Though the resulting video output is close to 720p, this is in relation to the display that is showing both the video and the VR background.
A 720p video of same content as a result will not look as good as 1080p.
Ideally, the best image would be at the displays native resolution, but the screen door effect nulls some of this premise.
Whatever the case, 720p video should not be equal to 1080p.

3D content sbs or over under?

hi guys what is the best format to view 3d movies on the gear is it over /under (ou) or side by side (sbs) format
I've read somewhere that 1920x540 is the ideal aspect so is that the over under format ? thanks

SBS. LG has some nice demos on YouTube. Personally I'd prefer a qHD video over 3D any day. Think about it. Real life is actually qHD not 3D.

ok thanks is there any good recommendations of video content to download for when mine comes ? thanks

For starter use tubemate and you can download some 3d and 360 videos from youtube straight to the phone. For more you will need computer and use some tricks to download videos from sites like airpano, 360heros, vimeo and more.
