I couldn't find these answer searching so I figured I would try to find out from the most competent droid forum.
I've read several hacks that Incredible users have been able to do that I wanted to see on the eris.
First, is there any way to modify some of the camera files to create images without compression? I saw that some Incredible users completely removed compression from their images and there was a vast improvement. I lost the link but it only involved modifying a few system files.
Also, is the hardware capable of producing .mp4 format video natively? What about increasing the frame rate? Is the hardware capable of 30fps? What about 25 or 20?
Hi all,
I thought I'd write this up since Handbrake worked GREAT for converting videos, but every 3D video it converted never outputted audio! It could well have been my fault, but either way this solution is fast, free, and (IMO) a bit more user-friendly. Special thanks to the user who pointed out Freemake.com (I can't find his name now, started with an N. I even messaged him but XDA's not saving my sent messages? God I'm a noob....)
Anyway here you go, this method was flawless for me, I've got about 5 3d movies now on my 3VO with gorgeous sound (Resident evil afterlife is my fave so far):
_____________
1) Download Freemake Video Converter
2) Locate a 3D video file.
-Make sure this is a SIDE-BY-SIDE video--meaning that if you view it NOT in
3D it just looks like 2 images side by side. IF your source video is like
that bluish-redish kind...sorry I don't know how to help.
3) In Freemake, click video--then browse your computer and find the video you want. I've been using standalone .mkv files; I'm guessing this will work when grabbing files off of 3D blurays too though?
4) Double click the video and it's put into the Freemake queue.
4b) Load up more files if you want
5) Now click "to Android" at the bottom of Freemake
6) A box pops up. Click the button under the word "Preset" and go all the way to the bottom and "Add Your Preset"
7) Make name your preset something appropriate like Evo 3D. Now use 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 where you want to save your converted files (note: you can't change the file names of your converted files at this point I don't believe). Note that this conversion will leave your original file INTACT.
Click CONVERT and THAT'S IT! You're Done! Check the status bar, but after about 20-40 minutes a regular movie should be done.
Now just 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 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...I only went this route because the route everyone else was taking (using Handbrake instead) never outputted audio for me
Note: if you're looking for 3D movies, search for "side-by-side" or "SBS"...that should be helpful. Some have suggested signing up at 3dtorrents.org, and I agree that that site is worth investigating...
GOOD LUCK!

...wow, was I the only one that Handbrake wasn't outputting audio for ????
Works great! Dumped Handbrake for this. Love the way it uses my GPU so my CPU stays low on usage (Handbrake took almost 100% on all 6 cores).
Awesome, so glad it helped!!
The interface is much less intimidating too, IMHO.
Thanks for this. It works great
Great to hear!
Has anyone else seen better or worse results using different audio settings?
Oh, and something I forgot to mention: To get the aspect ratio correct on your EVO 3D, you may need to go fullscreen beFORE entering 3D mode (in Gallery, of course).
Best,
Panamaniac
I followed OP's direction to convert the mkv to mp4, I used the gallery to play the file, I chose play in 3D, but it still played the image top & bottom, no 3d effects.
Handbrake audio wouldn't work for me, but this works perfect!
OK, so your initial file was a top/bottom, not side-by-side (SBS) file, is that correct?
That might make a difference. But first, try this: play your video in Gallery, make sure it's in FULL SCREEN mode, then tap the options button and choose to view in 3D, then confirm.
Do you know a website where I can DL a sample top-bottom 3D video? I haven't seen these before but I've heard of them. Is there an abbreviation for them?
Thanks!

Yes, the initial file is top & bottom, I got it from SBS. I played the file in Gallery in full screen mode then chose view in 3D, no luck, but still thanks for your help.
SBS Stands for side-by-side. When you say you got from SBS...do you mean 3dSBS.com? I looked into that site but downloading seemed like a huge pain..!
So the source file is top-to-bottom?
The bottom line is that I've heard the EVO 3D can't do Top/Bottom 3D files but I have not confirmed that.
OK without having a top-bottom source file to tinker with...
My hilarious but possible useful suggestion is this: after you load up your video into the Freemake queue, click the edit button on the right side (has scissors, etc). THEN click to start watching the video once the edit window pops up and....
HERE'S MY CRAZY IDEA: Rotate the video 90 degrees! Then the two images will be "side by side" now instead of "top to bottom"....
Of course the ratio might be a little weird, and you might have to watch the whole thing as a smaller picture on your phone...but fiddle with it and let me know what you think. In a perfect world that would make you now be able to watch your move in portrait, it'd just be a very tall movie (so then you'd have to lock rotation..plus I"m not even sure gallery let's you watch in portrait so...GLHF there!)
If you want to dropbox or PM me a top/bottom file I'll take a look, but like I said I haven't found any yet so....
Good luck!!!

I got the file from 3DSBS, the clip was the Sports Illustrator Swimsuites 2011.
Ya that site was a nightmare for downloads, I tried to get part 1 of the Swimsuit and it took...10 hours? ppf NTY.
Anyway I did some digging and the short answer is that there might be some really LONGGGGG arduous ways conver over under to side-by-side but I sure didn't find any easy ones.
Since I worked so hard trying to find a solution here, you gotta do me a favor---turn your file 90 degrees, then convert, then try running it as 3d and tell me what happens?
Nice write-up
I was using HandBrake with no success. The audio was consistently patchy.
Going to give this method a try now
Thanks.
Thanks!
Yeah, I never heard anyone else complaining about the audio from the Handbrake method, but I'm assuming that's because most people were only converting 2D movies. All I know is I followed their guide exactly and never heard a peep.
Please let me know if anything doesn't work. Currently I don't know of an easy way to convert over/under 3D video (the limitation here I think is the Gallery Program itself).
Wow thanks for this. I've been looking far and wide!
Awesome, glad I could help!
And like I said above, if you find an easy way to convert over/under 3d for use on the 3-VO that'd be great to add to the knowledge base
I did the exact steps you mentioned but the video conversion didn't seem to work.
Freemake reported that the file would be around 1298 MB but the end file was only 200-something MB. Viewing the video on my phone (and PC) shows a video that is all black, but with the audio.
Anyone else get that problem?
im lost on #2, if we are trying to create a 3d video where are we suppose to be locating a 3d video file
I am still lost on the source video. Please explain to me how to implement this step. When I choose video to convert I am choosing a regular video format right. Where does the source video come into play.
Sent from my EVO 3D on the now or later network
I've taken alot of 3D videos using standard camera app. I think its called 100% side by side or maybe 50% side by side .mp4
I've seen LG phones have the choice to save taken 3D films into normal 2D format in gallery. Why doesnt EVO3D have that option?
Anyway I'm looking either for an android app to do this on the phone itself, or a windows software that can do it.
I asked in another thread and someone suggested stvmkre.exe but doesn't work either, it can't work with the xxx.MP4 films shot by EVO3D...
Any ideas..?
The thread about 3d apps recommends wondershare or handbrake for the PC, maybe you can try those?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140313
Those attempt to convert 2D fiims into 3D, and they dont do a good job at that...
My problem is converting my already 3D films, shot using my EVO3D into 2D to watch normaly on any pc or TV...
Both are video editors that do whatever you set them up to do.
You can always buy Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5.5
http://www.adobe.com/se/products/premiere.html?promoid=BPCHY
Ulead has some mid range stuff that are good for the price:
http://www.ulead.com/products/runme.htm#video
Magix Movie Edit Pro has 3D support too, for a decent price:
http://www.magix.com/ca/movie-edit-pro/
Happy now?
I was generaly hoping the EVO3D would have this function (like the LG 3D) or maybe an app from market place....for pc something along the lines of "free" software, maybe some open source project....
not if it means having to buy or loan proffesional video editing software...I'd probably need a quad core super pc to spend hours converting smartphone 3D home made films...
Wow you are so picky...
Handbrake posted in the link above is freeware open source.
Wondershare was free, not any more though.
No need for a quad core, 720P on a dual core is fast enough.
Graphics card acceleration helps in the pc apps that support it, beats quad cores if you have a decent 3d card.
How is he being picky for wanting something that honestly should've been on the phone in the first place?
No I don't believe Android or the EVO 3d has any way to crop a video like that.
If you want to do this with Handbrake, what you can do is simply take the width of the image and cut it in half. SBS video is just the two camera images put next to each other.
actualy Im more pissed with HTC for not adressing this missing feature...LG give you the option to save a 3D film as 2D on their phone...why doesnt HTC?
there is an option to save 3D pictures as 2D in Gallery and 3D films can be viewed in 2D but why cant they be saved in 2D as well...
It isn't in there because devs are still human and they are lazy. It's a lot more work to convert video than it is to convert images to 2D.

picky - overly selective(including over small details as well a obvious things)
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=picky
Posted at least 6 ways to solve the problem, no thank you's, just the same question over and over again.
Here is the 7th way:
Use the share to youtube function, I believe that your 3D movie will be in 3D if youtube is setup to run in 3D, or in 2D if you prefer to watch in 2D for some reason.
Please do not give me the LG can do this crap or that crap.
I hate the ugly LG.

Thanks for the tips and help...Im an EVO3D noobie with high expectations
ColdH33t
Thanks for the support, you understand the dilema perfectly
You are welcome, does the YouTube share function mentioned in the previous post cover you needs?
I try convert 3d video to 2d with Wondershare Video Converter:
1-Add files (load 3d video file)
2-Press Edit - Video Edit...
3-Press Pause (to stop automatic playing)
4-Zoom - Full Screen
5-Cropped Area Size 640x720
6-OK
7-Profile HD MP4
8-Press Convert

That works great, I just tried it. Thanks for the instructions
Will HTC ever have an in-built 3D to 2D video save function, maybe with Android 4?
re:3d video to 2d
3D videos to 2D conversion could be the course of action of transforming to ensure we are able to watch the 2D movies in 3D form on our 3D units or players. And UFUWare 3D video to 2D Converter can help you.
Hmm, I think you could get AVIdemux to help you.

Hi,
Has anyone tried the one plus camera apk on the p20 lite. I am getting noticeably better photos. Major difference being the size and sharpness of the photos and videos. The downsides would be not able to access gallery from the app and the inability to shoot portrait and slowmo. Let me know your thoughts. For the ones who would like to download it, the apk is available at apkmirror.
Thanks
Could you post some examples, maybe even the difference between photos with both camera apps? I am interested in this phone, but the camera reviews are not really positive.
And important to me: is there an option to change the picture resolution to a 16:9 aspect ratio? If yes, at what amount of megapixels is it?

Thanks for the informatio, I downloaded the app and tried with a picture of my cat and the hair looked sharper, but I had a problem and won't let me use HDR.
Anyone please upload some comparative sample pictures taken with the stock camera app and this other app.
And/or make it able to download from somewhere in the original size and quality so it is comparable in the best way.
No one?
I can pick the phone up this weekend, but I need to know/see if the pictures are better with that other app.
The ones with the stock app are not the best, so I would like to see a comparison.
The only problem with stock app is how the jpeg file is being processed. It needs to be corected as RAW files are much better in terms of quality.
I know.
But I think it is also possible/easier to have a good app that makes better pictures, even in jpg.
I use Camera FV-5 and it always gives me better quality.
That's why my question stands: please post some comparative pictures.
android is not support now. but
app Qoocam can upload 3d photo
https://m.facebook.com/groups/2049285248674430?view=permalink&id=2234886290114324
Who can edit app upload Photo 3d without Camera Qoocam?
Android users, here is an optimized beta version with better 3D photo quality: v. 1.6.3
Download it here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ai4CYQJ0ryg7gaVwfICqlG7Wag_8BA
ps:My English isn't that good.
Post3D
I was looking for an application which creates 3D like photos similar to what Facebook allows to post from iPhones (aka 3D Photo).
Checked tons of apps and it seems like only this one does the trick on Android. It's called Post3D - you can find it on Goole Play.
Oh, almost forgot - you need to take a picture in Portrait mode and open/find it with/in the app.
It even allows to share it. But doesn't allow to preview in Facebook
Enjoy!
