I downloaded Avatar 3D and when in handbrake it wants to convert it to a .m4v file but I'm pretty sure that the 3vo won't play this file type. In the conversion window can I just rename the extension to .mp4 to convert it to that file type?
Edit: Problem solved.
Please share how your problem was solved. I too use handbrake & would like to know how to convert 3d movies to play on my phone. Thanks

Make sure it is a side-by-side video. Press source and choose the video you want to convert. Destination will be the output video. My brother told me that .m4v will play on the 3D so this is good. Press audio and change the mixdown to stereo. On video choose your target file size, other the converted file will still be the same size as the original.

I've recently tried watching a few videos on the vibrant and have noticed that none of them are displaying the subtitles. These are a menagerie of 480p and 720p mkv's. I have tried act video player trial, meridian, mvideo, stock video player and rockplayer but to no avail. I do have some mp4's that I converted from mkv and embedded the subtitles into the video and those work fine so I know that works but I'm really hoping I don't have to encode all these mkv's just for the subtitles. Any suggestions for video players with more comprehensive subtitle support?

Try RockPlayer. The website states that it can display .srt subtitles.

Did you actually read my post? Or just the title?
Like I said, newest version of arm7 rockplayer can't display the subtitles either.

As far as I know, none of the players support internal subtitle (aka mkv). Hopefully someone can come and prove me wrong. Otherwise, hopeful thinking: that Samsung would add subtitle support to the native video player via selectable menu would be awesome.
RockPlayer works for me. Double check the name of the .srt file and try multiple formats.
I've been using MKVextractGUI to rip the hardcoded subs out of anime mkv's. rename the ripped subs file to match the mkv you ripped it from and throw both into a directory on your phone. Search for mVideoPlayer on the Market. This video player plays mkv's with the subtitles file perfectly.

What kind of movie format have you played alongside appropriately named srt files? Do you have to activate them through options or close the srt file manually or just place our in the same folder as a same named mkv/mp4/divx?

Its a .avi format video and you don't have to do anything. Just place the .srt file and just copy and paste the name of the video to the .srt file to make sure everything matches. It should load automatically. It will say subtitle at the bottom of the video and then the subs will start. No need to enable anything or press any buttons.
Hmmm I guess I'll try ripping the subs out of the mkv's and using mvideoplayer then. Thanks for all the replies.

Anyone know of a fairly automated or easy way to convert wmv or other 3d video to play in 3d on the evo? Ive been playing with handbrake and a few others without success. Vids play, but show 2 screens side-by-side. Somehow, something is missing that tells the Evo movie player to play as 3d. Ideas?
Ok nevermind! Solved my own issue. Handbrake seems to work fine. Use guide found here: http://www.knowyourcell.com/htc/htc...fer_them_to_the_htc_evo_3d.html#comments_form
Start playing with vid player. While movie is playing, hit menu button. Option to play in 3D\2D appears. Select 3d and continue playing vid! ImDumbSometimes...
I'm curious about this myself.
So the movies you are converting, what format are they in? MKV or some other file type?
Handbrake keeps their formatting (2 videos side-by-side)?
Thanks for any help.

Yes, Handbrake will keep the files in side-by-side. Following the instructions in the knowyourcell linke, you'll typically be converting a MKV into an MP4. But your Gallery app is smart enough that when you watch the video and hit settings-->3D, it'll merge the screens.
HOWEVER, I was never able to get the Handbrake solution to give me good audio. So I tried Freemake and it was very successful and a little faster I think. Here's my writeup:
****TWO PRELIMINARY NOTE: (1) Please note that this is only to be used for 3D video files that you OWN THE RIGHT TO USE. (2) This guide will be most useful to those trying to convert a .MKV file, which is a type of 3D video file that is always (in my experience) "side-by-side" (technically called HALF side-by-side or half-sbs) meaning if you were to play the file on a non-3D device it would simply show two identical videos running side by side. It's THIS kind of 3D file that I've had success with so far; I've had a harder time finding solutions with "top/bottom" (also called "over under" 3D files where one image is ABOVE the other.******
Ok, now that that's out of the way, let's get started
For Starters, You'll Need:
A) The 3D file you want to view on your HTC Evo 3D
B) A connection to the internet
C) Your HTC Evo 3D (of course )
D) Your USB cable to connect your EVO 3D to your computer (this came with the phone)
Next, Your computer will need some Video Conversion Software:
DOWNLOAD: I've heard of several different programs working, but my favorite by far has been Freemake Video Converter, which you can download on your computer by going here by clicking the green "DOWNLOAD" button in the top-right corner of the page. (Once you click the DOWNLOAD button, you'll be sent to CNET.com, a very trusted tech news and download site, so you know it's a safe place to download a file!).
Launch: Launch your freshly-downloaded Freemake Video Converter.
We're halfway done!
Find Files to Convert: Now that the program is open, click either the "+ Video" or "+DVD" button in order to browse your hard drive for the 3D movies you want to make viewable on your EVO 3D. Double click on them to add them to your queue. (Remember, these should be side-by-side 3D videos--probably with file extension .MKV)
Notice how each file you double click on simple gets added to the list (queue) in the big white middle of the program. So Freemake automatically builds a queue and will let you convert ALL your files with one click later on! However, if you just want to convert one file, find it, double click it to put it in your queue, and move on
Once you've lined up your files, go to the bottom of Freemake and click "To Android."
Click the drop-down menu under "Preset", go all the way to the bottom and click "Add Your Preset" (or just click the green plus sign)
Name your new preset "Evo 3D" or something you'll remember, then apply these settings:
- Frame size: size up to
- Width: 960
- Height: 540
-Adjustment: Original
-Video Codec: H.264
-Frame Rate: Original
-Bitrate Type: Custom
-Bitrate (Kbps): 1500
Then for audio, click the "Custom Audio" button and use these settings:
-Audio Codec: AAC
-Channels: Stereo
-Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
-Bitrate: 256
Click OK and it should save your new preset. Now choose the file path that you want to save your new files to (note: you can't change the file names of your converted files at this point). Note that this conversion will leave your original file INTACT and in their ORIGINAL place and simply make converted COPIES.
Click CONVERT and THAT'S IT! You're Done! Check the status bar, but after about 20-50 minutes a regular movie should be done.
Now that conversion is complete:
-Plug in your Evo 3D, access the SD card from your PC, and copy/paste the newly converted file onto your SD card (What most of us do is create a new folder on the SD card called "Video" and then place all our converted files here).
-Use GALLERY to watch your movies--it should find the files automatically. When watching, it will usually start by playing the file as two images side by side. Just make the video fullscreen, THEN hit the options button and choose "3D", confirm, and there you go!
**NOTE: Not all of the above steps/settings may be necessary, and there are probably some great ways to improve it...but this way should get you a pretty good, very cool 3D video on your phone! Although don't forget the end result can never be better than what you start with!**
Thanks again. After I initially replied, I found both your tutorial threads on SU & XDA.
You rock dude. I noticed Handbrake literally made my computer slow to a crawl (100% CPU on multiple cores). I read that the other software you mention actually uses the GPU, which is better IMO.
I used the settings you provided in freemake. They work but I would recommend using a higher bitrate. The Evo 3d records at 1280x720 at 5200kbps at 29fps. At 1500 they are choppy and in some areas show artifacts. You might want to up the bitrate. The difference between the resolution wasn't noticed. Also lowering the frame rate helps save some space.
what is the term for a video file with side by side video? I'm not having much luck finding any sample videos except on youtube and I wanna play with 3D more than I do lol

For those of you who have a collection of SBS (side by side) MKV files for your 3D HDTV or whatever...her is the method for converting them for the EVO 3D.
Sorry if this has been posted somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
First use Handbrake to convert the MKV files to .mp4 or .m4v
Instructions here:
http://www.knowyourcell.com/htc/htc-evo-3d/evo-3d-guides/835578/how_to_convert_videos_and_transfer_them_to_the_htc_evo_3d.html
Then drop the files in a folder called Video on your SD Card (probably work in any folder but this is what i did).
Use your GALLERY app to browse videos in the folder you created. Play the video. It will look regular (just two pictures side by side) but if you press MENU then VIEW IN 3D...voila...you're watching your downloaded MKV on your EVO 3D.
thanks. worked perfectly.
I haven't come across many SBS rips though.. even on scene releases..

Or did you convert them at a lower pixel setting?

When converting in Handbrake where it says audio, you'll have to change the audio output from AAC or whatever to 'Stereo'.
Its in that KnowYourCell link.
I don't have my 3VO yet so this is just from what I read.

Hi all,
I have this movie Avatar which carries the MIME type of video/mp4-3d (refer attachment picture). I'm looking for a tool which can do the same for my other plain MP4 videos.
Why ?
The standard EVO 3D video player can switch to 3D mode when playing a plain MP4 videos on the local disk. But when I'm using the app called "Connected Media" or "Skifta" which allows to stream movies through DLNA servers, I would had lost the option to switch to 3D mode already. However any videos which carries the video/mp4-3d MIME type (Like my Avatar movie) would be successfully streamed via the default player as 3D beautifully.
So here's my question:-
1) Anyone knows of a tool or way to change the MP4 MIME type to MP4-3D ?
Otherwise
2) Anyone knows of a player which allows to stream plain MP4 movies as 3D from DLNA servers ?
Thanks, hopefully its not too complicated to understand what was I posting above.

Solution
So far the only solution was given to me is to RE-ENCODE the movie back to MP4 using handbrake and adding additional settings frame-packing=3) under the ADVANCED tab. With this encoding method, your 3D movies will now be played as 3D mode automatically. Refer screenshot for more details...
Credits goes to my friend RAWFISH who is also an XDA member for years already
Was wondering if there was a way to upload movies that I already own onto the device.
Not talking about piracy here, I am referring to DVD's that I have the actual digital copies of. I often buy Blu-Ray movies that come with both DVD and digital copies.
Thank you.

Yeah use NERO or any other product that converts dvd's into .avi's and mount your sd card to your computer and add the movie to videos folder
another awesome program (for computer) is "youtube downloader" I found out it does vimeo videos as well. Rips it straight to .mp4 h264
A tad off topic but had to get that out
You could use DVD decryp then use movie converting software

Or you can use handbrake it's free and since you have the digital copy you can convert the movies.

MPG and AVI are not video formats, they are containers. It's the codec that matters.
