Well, I plan to watch a lot of 3D stuff while I'm on the train and youtube isn't available. I'd like to have a compiled list of how to properly convert videos to 3D in order to be watched on the Evo, (like blu-ray rips etc.) as well as any other 3D sources that pop up such as games or apps.
If anybody has any ideas or insight, post away!

HD MKV Scene rips play fine in the gallery, actually they are quite fantastic looking, but there is a problem with the sound. I've downloaded several other players and any of them that do play with the sound start to suffer from video lag. If anybody knows how an efficient way to re-encode the audio portion only, which should be substantially quicker than re-encoding a whole video, please share!
I downloaded the Wondershare trial program as somebody had mentioned on another forum. It is EXTREMELY simple to use. You load your video, click the device icon, select Convert to 3D, and it is the second mp4 option (side by side images). Since it was the trial version I could only convert 3 minutes of video, but I tried with HD rips of Modern Family, Family Guy, and Arrested Development. The files took about 3 min to encode and were about 175 mb for 3 min of video (from a ~600mb source mkv). I transferred them to the root dir and opened them in the gallery. You will see side by side images, but if you hit menu there is an option to play in 3D.
For the most part, it was hit or miss depending on the scene. I think the software is not just junk, but actually does what it says. The main problem comes into play where most standard television/films aren't filmed with 3D in mind, and thus do not have optimal viewing angles for depth with rear objects. Also, cameras tend to switch scenes/angles quickly so by the time you realize something is in 3D the camera has switched.. during a dialogue where the camera switches the focus between several actors in a conversation, for example. There were some scenes that really had the 3D effect as if it was completely designed that way.
I'm going to play around with it some more and see if I can come up with anything interesting. Also, encoding to 3D kept the same high quality video (god, this screen is f**king amazing) and fixed the audio problems, and I didn't touch any settings. Open, find file, convert to 3D, no settings or anything besides output folder.
Side note: HTC Sense 3.0 rocks!!! They really got it right this time! I love it so far. I changed my background to a live one which is affected by the weather. There were thunderstorms last night and when I would try to unlock the screen you'd be surfing through the clouds with a lightning affect. I thought it was pretty sweet. The whole UI seems silky smooth.
Looking for a video editor that can edit the 3d video from the evo 3d and keep it in a format that can be uploaded to YouTube.
?
you need any editor that can edit h264 with aac audio within mp4 container
then export as the same, when uploading to youtube just put in the right yt3d keywords
I use Adobe Premiere for mine
The trim software that came with the 3d phone is a great addition. I've used it a lot since shooting with my EVO 3d. It helps to shrink the video's to fit on youtube without needing a wifi connection.
How exactly did you use premier to edit the video? I tried premier it always messed up the format. I think tried the new vegas with 3d support. That would mess up the file as well. tried a few other editing programs with 3d support and none of them even recognize the video as being 3d and try to make it 3d and thus why they all dont do it right.
It always shows up with two views when i try to look at it again on the device, sometimes with four.
I just want to edit together simple clips nothing too crazy.

you don't need 3D editing software, the actual video is 1 file with them side by side, load it in to a 720p project, the video will fit in to that fine, edit as you would normally, then export as 720p too
nothing else to do, it's that simple
Magix Movie Edit Pro 17 Plus HD supports 3D video editing.
I saw this just the other day and the article was in my trash, but here is a link to the article that talks about it and a bunch of other video editors.

ok ive done that already it wont work. The video shows up as two images on the device when I try to watch it. Im trying to edit the video to watch it on my evo 3d. Whenever I upload it to the device directly or to youtube it messes up the 3d and plays with the two pictures and sometimes four side by side.
What export setting are you using besides 720p? Are you able to watch the video on your evo 3d?

when playing press menu > play in 3D
it's the only way to do it at the moment (or end the name of the file with "3D")
What are the Adobe Premiere settings that you are using to edit EVO 3D footage. My project is 1280 x 720, 29,97, 441Hz Compressed. Premiere loads the mp4 into the timeline then Premiere locks up. I am using CS4 Premiere Pro.

I use wondershare ultimate, its like $65 BUT if you know where to look its fr33.
Normally I dont indulge in things of that nature, $65 for software that will be used for me and my phone only (no uploading/sharing) is a little high.
Go ahead flame on, just remember when pointing a finger you have 3 pointing back at you
ok, the 2 videos of the kid on youtube sticking his hand out and with the balloons are not side by side but top and bottom. They play fine in youtube, and if downloaded, they wont play from the gallery, but will play if launched from astro file. I have downloaded a mp4 that is also top and bottom, which wont play in 3d no matter what I do. Also the kids videos play in 3d automatically. Does anyone know why, or how to alter the metadata maybe, so that its automaticaaly recognized as a 3d file. I've tried renaming mv4 and mp4-3d. Any ideas?

As far as I know, the EVO 3D will only playback Side-By-Side (Left-Right) 3D videos properly. I also tried to load up a Top-Down video and it doesn't work, at least from the Gallery app. I'm also trying to figure out how can I make the Gallery auto-detect 3D videos so I don't need to select the "Play In 3D" option everytime I play a 3D video.
those yt3d videos i mentioned are absolutely top and bottom. I downloaded to laptop and they play in top and bottom format, also the thumbnail on yt3d are top and bottom. I imagine it's in the files metadata. I've been working to much to fool with it, but about to figure it out.
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.

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
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

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.
