OK, I have EVO 3D and came with one lame 3D movie (Green Hornet) I have download Avatar 3D (via..what ever), but with Rock player plays SBS; With the Video Player that came with, can't find the Movie I put via cable in a Folder that I created (Movies).
Presently I am trying 'HandBrake' with some instruction I found on: xda-developers > HTC EVO 3D > EVO 3D Q&A > [Q] Converting 3d videos to play on Evo 3d?.
Question: how to play 3D movies on the EVO 3D that are already convert 3D (mp4 & mkv?)
What player is there (free) to play 3D movies on EVO 3D?
Or to play 3D movies I have to purchase this (other than one own)
Thanks
MoboPlayer plays SBS movies in 3D. You just have to click on the menu and select 3D.

Where is the menu... Every time I try playing 3d movies, it plays them side by side
I have install it, but will not give me the choice to play the Movie on 3D, rather plays it SBS.
thanks for your effort

Has anyone been able to encode there own MKV 3D movies to MP4 and then have the Gallery App see the movie as a 3D video file?
I notice some 3D MP4s from YouTube ripped to the phone are automatically tagged as 3D so soon as the video is opened its in 3D and also has the Cube in the corner to change from 2D and 3D.
Question is how can we add that tag information to our own MP4 files so the gallery see the video as 3D instead of having to switch it manually. Itll also sort it under the 3D category in the gallery if the file is recognized as 3D.

I've looked into this and haven't found a way to tag to videos as 3d. I looked into reencoding them as well with the proper tags. Haven't found any program that allows you to change the Meta tag or the files. Hopefully someone has found an answer.

Ok here's how:
1)Download Handbrake for free.
2)Add your 3D video in the program.
3)Select EVO 3D option from the menu on right.
4)Click "advanced"
5)In the advanced settings, there are some unusual things written at the bottom.
Add "frame-packing=3:" at the beggining of that unusual crap.
It should be like this:
"frame-packing=3:level=30:cabac..."
Click start button and wait till the program encodes the video. And voila you have an Auto3D video
Your welcome

After few experiments I've discovered, that frame-packing key need to have value 3 if the source video is horizontal stereo-pair (side-by-side), but it also have to be 4 (frame-packing=4) if it's vertical stereopair (OverUnder). So, we CAN play vertical stereopair 3D videos on the Evo 3D!
Also, values 1 and 2 of this key are vertical and horizontal interlaced stereo-pictures and value 5 is frame-by-frame frame packing (one left, one right and so on), but I have no source videos of these types to try if the Evo 3D can play them.
Can you view 3D movies in Moboplayer? When I hit the hard menu button, it just locks or unlocks the screen. Is there any way to toggle between 2D and 3D besides on the stock video player?
Nobody uses Moboplayer?
i use it and so far from every option that i've seen you can't as of now. maybe in a later update. oh and menu only locks the screen when a vid is playing
Interesting. Someone in another thread said they were able to view 3D movies but I couldn't find that option anywhere. I really like Moboplayer but that's kind of a deal breaker for me.

I love it too...
But really, for 3d, the stock player works just fine.
You're going to want to convert the videos anyway (most 3d stuff is HUGE without the conversion) and looks great in the stock player.
Mobo works well for your non-3d stuff on the 3vo.

Yea, I've been converting them using Handbrake and most of my full length movies on my 3vo average around 1-1.4 GB.
The stock player is fine but I absolutely love the gestures controls on Moboplayer.
yea the gestures are great. it is easier to fast forward or rewind instead of skipping all over using the little bar crap lol.
So I used mono the other day and happened to click a 3d video and it played in 3d. I haven't checked any actual movies it was just a video I had recorded. Just like to say that incase anyone still cares.

So I know this thread is ancient but how did you get Moboplayer to play a 3D video in 3D?
Nearly all players play 3D, but only if you filmed them with the phone. 3DBD SBS movies work only on 3DVPlayer.

By 3DVPlayer, do you mean the stock video player?
Comments withdrawn
Wasn't the reason other players didn't play 3d video because the meta data that indicates its a 3d video is missing? That would make sense to me because the 3d movies I have don't haven't they 3d label in Gallery and need to be told to play in 3d. Whereas the videos recorded by the phone have the label and are automatically in 3d. I bet adding the proper meta data will resolve that. Haven't tried playing with anything yet but I think I saw someone else suggest the meta data idea before too.

moboplayer does play in 3D for me. on ICS at least.
but: you have to play it in 3D in the default player first. then press Home to go back out. Play any video with any other player and it will still be in 3D. Even your camera when set to 2D will be in "3D". This is more of a bug than a solution though. But you'll be able to play 3D videos on any player.
If you want to restore functionality back to your 2D camera (because it still thinks it is in 3D mode) set the default video player to play any video in 2D again and it will be fine.

Ah...that's why my camera was acting wonky after watching a movie in 3D. Is this bug present in Sprint's stock ICS or just in custom ICS roms?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.
MX Video Player, found on Market for free, plays the 3D videos in 3D on the Evo 3D that have been shot by the built in camera, the Amaze 0.11 3D camera and the Green Hornet 3D trailer.
No luck with an avi file that I have in side-by-side format, there is no 3D button to press to force it in 3D mode for non-compliant 3D videos.
