I have yet to see anyone confirm that the MHL adapter will output 3d to a 3d enabled tv, (since it is said to only support 2d currently in 1.0) and I wanted to check out how well it works. So I began figuring out a way to do it, and while not as simple as hooking up a cable to your phone it works and works quite well.
I have a Mitsubishi 3d tv and it worked well on it, as I am not a 3d tv expert I am not sure how or if it will work on other ones, but I would think it would.
I am using an Xbox 360 to achieve this, however a laptop hooked up to your 3d tv will probably also work.
Video has played in 3d fine across my xbox 360. I first tried using the Windows Media Center and it worked well, but WMC proved to be way to slow for me. Also my pictures would not show up. So I continued experimenting and came up with the way listed below which now displays all my content.
1. Install tversity onto your computer and configure it to run on your Xbox 360 as well as set up a folder to hold your 3d content.
2. Drag all the content you want to see from your phone on the 3d tv into the folder. I simply named a folder 3dcontent so I could easily identify it on the Xbox.
3. Download StereoPhoto Maker I am not sure what XDAs policy is on links but just Google StereoPhoto Maker it is the first result.
4. Open StereoPhoto Maker and then add a photo to it by going to file open stereo image. This will give you a split stereo image from your .mpo file which is what your phone saves them as. Just simply hit s, and a dialog box will come up in which you just hit save. You end up with a bunch of stereoscopic image jpeg's.
5. Access tversity on your Xbox 360 and browse to your pictures folder that holds the stereoscopic 3d photos once you start viewing the pictures simply switch your 3d tv into the left right mode, turn on your glasses, and you should now have your photos in 3d.
If you are having trouble with the videos simply go into tversity under settings then trans coder and set to always trans code.
Hope this helps those of you wanting to watch your 3d content on the big screen.
Great post, I have been courious
I don't have a 3d tv yet but with this phone makes me want to have one. Will the phone stream 2d to a tv as well?? The only info I saw on the HTC site was about 3d video.
There is an even easier way....
I turn on the Media Share option (DLNA Server) on the 3VO and then with my ps3 play back the movies directly off the phone and make sure my TV decodes the 3D video as SBS (Side By Side).
I have a 65" PAnasonic Plasma 3d TV and it did not detect the 3D video automatically when playing it through the PS3 but once I forced my TV's 3D mode to SBS it worked perfectly.
EDIT: This method only works for movies recorded on your Evo 3d not pictures as the PS3 does not recognize the .mpo format.
I just got an new 55" LG 3DTV and it has WiFi builtin. DLNA works great with just the TV and Phone but just like the PS3 it will not do 3d pictures because of the format (.mpo or .jps).
So the phone does actually save 3D images and video.... Has anyone tried using something like TriDef (DDD) to play the 3D files? I'm considering picking one of these up as I got a 3D TV now as its cheaper than an actual 3D camera and quite frankly it would make my adventures look awesomer. Anyone care to upload sample files I could try out?

Googling EVO 3D Images returned bunch of 2D images :/
This thread is now geared towards gathering insights, ideas, and experience to create the best 3D video for our Evo 3Ds.
If you have best practices for formats 3D movies for this device please share.
If you are willing to experiment and provide feedback, please do.
The hope is that we can take a compilation of everyone's ideas and experience to create the best end product for us all to enjoy!
Has anyone figured out how to format the 3D Movies for the EVO 3D?
How about get the movie to start in the 3D mode on the Media Player?
The Evo plays mpeg4 in 3d I believe. But heres a thread about converting videos.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140313
And if you want to play it in 3d you just need to hit the 3D button on the top right corner I think. Sorry its been a while that I used 3D.

Yes, I know how to do it by pressing the 3D button, but is there a way using some coding to get it to auto open in the 3D?
hey guys, i have a question, im looking for somebody to watch this video i converted to 3d and see if it works right or if it needs tweaking....can yas help? lol (i dont have 3d device)
I'll try. Upload it to youtube or just send me a link.
Search wondershare in forums, it does basic converting as well as converting videos to play 3d, it worked very well for me.

i would like to know as well
does it encode the 3d flag for instant 3d recognition from the 3vo? I've noticed allot of downloadable 3d is top and bottom, the 3vo will play with the flag but wont without it

As sleekgreek said, it's to do with the tags in the mp4 file.
the framepacking tag needs to be set to 3 for SBS L&R movies. it's either 4 or 5 for top and bottom, but i can't remember for certain.
You can use videolan's X.264 encoder to do that. but that only puts out H.264 video, so you'd need to then use something else to do your audio and then combine them again into one mp4 container.
the command for x.264 is:
Code:
x264 --frame-packing 3 -o [Input].mp4 [Output].mp4
but like i said, this is video only, so remember to use whatever other tools you use to encode the audio and then recombine.
handbrake

Using handbrake: use x264 codec, go to "advanced" tab and add
":frame-packing=3"
without quotes into the command box at the bottom. For the other setting just try what best suits your needs.
The file must be .mp4 (just rename) in order to have the 3d/2d switch, this way you can see 2d in right way!
Hit thanks if you've found this useful.

3d movies not playing in 3D
I'm Hoping someone can help me out here. I've downlaoded some movies from sick-flix and copied them to my sd card. Great!!
They are in .mp4 format and when i go and play them from the gallery they play as 2 side by side videos. Great!!!
So I press the options button and tell it to play in 3D, click OK and it doesn't switch. Not So Great!!!
I have a rogers 3d evo S-OFF and rooted. it shouldn't really matter, i think.
What am i missing? Please help

You are correct, it is not so Great! You followed the correct method for it to work. Is it on all of the 3D movies or just the one? Also, have you tried one of the sick-flix remastered yet? Those should open in 3D automatically.
it works!!

Well after restarting my phone for the 4th time I am finally able to see 3d movies Properly. Couldn't tell you what happened but it's working beautifully now.
3d movies evo 3d
The Green Hornet, Coraline, Pirates Of The Carribean 4, Monsters VS Aliens, Resident Evil 4, The Lion King, X-Men First Class, and a collection of looney tunes clips, all in superb side byside 3d, some have ore 2depth than others, but WOW, This phone Rocks
to play the movies, open them with "view video" then when they play side by side, press menu, soft key, then play in 3d , sorted
Pb with SBS in WMV format
I have a WMV SBS movie and when I try to play it, it stays in 2 frame (left and Right).
When I try to encode it with Wondershared, it results 4 frames...
How to play it ?
Thanks i was trying to figure that out
Does anyone know a good app that can stream 3d movies on your pc to your evo 3d?? I can't seem to find one. I've tried plex, skifta, gmote and it wont play in 3d. I think the only player that can allow you to play in 3d is the Evo's native video player which gives you the option to 3d. Otherwise you have to place the 3d movie on your phones SD card which takes up a lot of space. So I am trying to store it on my computer and just stream it through DLNA. If anyone knows that would be great.
Try zumocast. Havent tried it for 3d movies but i dont see why it wouldnt work.

I actually had the same thought and tried zumocast but it just plays the movie sbs. I think it must use a default player that doesn't support stereoscopic.

Have you tried from VLC direct Pro? According to the app, you can stream from phone to pc and vice versa. I emailed them about it, but they have yet to respond. A lot of the movie files I've seen are over 4GB, which is the limit for either android or my HTC evo3d (forgot).
EDIT:
Also, MX Video allows me to play all the 3D videos I've recorded. I prefer this app to the native for movies because it has convenient controls using swipe gestures.
Hi there!
I got my new Evo 3D today, now I'm trying to play a 3D Bluerayrip on it.
For the SD card is the Movie to big. I found a Streaing method, but on this the movie is not in 3D, I only see the two Stereoscopic pictures. Switching to 3D isn't there.
How i can watch the movie on the Evo?
thanks a lot =)
Only the stock movie player app has the 3d button. You would need to convert it to a file version supported by the stock app. Can the stock app load streams?

what streaming method did you find? I was hoping to do this same thing as I've taken so much 3D video I've had to move it to my PC and I've thought maybe I can watch it on my phone via streaming! I know that the YouTube app can play streaming feeds in 3D, but that's off YouTube. maybe if someone can make it able to read streams from other addresses!
You can stream in the gallery app. Just select 'media servers' from the dropdown at the top.

Download handbrake and add the metadata ":frame-packing=3" to your movie file, it will take a few minutes, then try streaming again, it will automatically be on 3D(remember to use mp4 file type, no need to use a different player.
(PlayStation3 Media Server works great with DNLA)

with VLC on the PC and VLC s&c you can stream 2D Movies, but not 3D.
But the method is fast and smooth =D

Split into 2gb chunks, or reduce bitrate.

The streaming method should matter. If the video is encoded as a SBS (side by side) picture, the 3d should recognize it and turn the 3d screen on.
hi
iam taking pictures from my EVO3D and i can watch them in 3D in mobile but i cant see them in 3D in computer or they are not recognizable format in computer as they are .mpo or .jps extensions.
for 3D videos i can view with stereoscopic player but for pictures i dont have any software.
so please tell me any software for computer to watch my 3D pictuers .
thank you

Unfortunately, no. See like you said. The Evo 3D uses stereoscopic technology to display 3D images and videos. Now unless you have a computer that is 3D (In which I don't believe there are any) you will not be able to view those videos or images on your PC. Sorry .
