Tag MP4 as 3D? - HTC EVO 3D

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.

We Are D3VO!

I need to know this as well. Still no luck people?

Nevermind. I've done it.

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.

[Q] Converting 2D movies to side by side 3D.mp4 w/ DVDFab

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to convert them. I'm on Windows 7.
Has anybody converted any 3D movies with DVDFab & gotten them to play on the Evo3D successfully?
All I've seen so far work are the videos shot on the Evo itself & very few side by side Youtube3D ones

if this doesnt work from where we can find out what to do to watch any 3d movies(like avatar 3d or resident evil 3d) in 3d on evo 3d?
I took a 3D Side by Side MKV of Clash of the Titans, and used Handbrake to convert it into a 960 x 400 MP4 and it plays flawlessly. All you have to do is hit Menu and "Play in 3D" when you play it through Gallery. I have not tried any other formats or over/under versions of 3D either. I will post my results with my next movie.

I personally use the latest Wondershare to convert my videos, and it works phenomenal. I just have to figure out what program to use to convert my pictures to 3D.
Here's what I did. Worked fast and perfectly.

ShadowHawk,
You think you could post a screen cap of the settings you used to down convert the video file?
And those were originally side by side mkv files, correct?
Thanks again for sharing.

The link right above you is how I did it
Of course I converted it a day or so ago, but only found the "watch in 3d" button yesterday night. But I should have created a thread on it like that guy did.

I just used DVDFab to convert an episode of Merlin from 2D to 3D and it actually did a pretty decent job of it! I'm going to try a more feature length movie next.
I have version 8.0.9.2 if that helps, running on Windows 7.

[Q] Cannot play 3D video after enabling the 3D funciton

Hi all,
I have several videos downloaded from this forum to test the 3D video playback of the EVO 3D.
However, even I have pressed the 3D enable function in the player, those videos are still showing left and right screen together, which have no difference with 2D.
Do any of you have the same experience?
I have tried to import some 3D photos and they are fine.
Thanks
Battery pull / reboot.
If that fails, clear storage / rebuild.
If that fails, return it.

Hi, I tried to watch 3D video from the camera and youtube, both work.
Will it really related to the handset or video format?
Thanks
I no longer understand what your problem statement is. It either works or it doesn't. Which is it?

OK let me explain more
1. For those 3D videos taken from the camera and watch from Youtube. it worked
(no need to enable 3D manually, the player can detect it automatically)
2. For those videos import from PC, not ok.
I tried around 10 files, most of the are downloaded from here, just display the side by side video even turning on 3D. I follow the steps to convert one video from youtube to mp4, but still didn't work.
(need to enable 3D by myself)

what do you mean "turn 3D on"?
are you pressing "menu > play in 3D" when playing the videos?
do the videos have "3D" in their name?

I have had this happen I just hit menu then 2d then hit menu again 3D and it finally goes

Just add "3D" to the end of any sbs videos and the software will handle it automatically, i was so hyped about the 3d that i watched tons of promo videos and on at least 3 they mentioned evo 3d will recognize sbs videos that are tagged in the title so first thing i did when i got my 3d was load clips with 3D at the end of file name and it just works, no need to fuss with menu

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.

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.

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.

3D streaming from PC to Evo

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.

[Q] Cant watch 3D converted Youtube videos

Hello out there,
I uploaded a 2D Video on Youtube and selected to convert it to 3D. When I open it on my computer in the browser I can select the 3D option, even if I dont have a 3D display. But on my evo 3D I can not see a option to switch to 3D view, even if I select HQ mode.
Videos that are original 3D content are no problem to play in 3D.
My evo is with german stock rom (no branding) Android 4.0.3, Sense 3.6
Youtube App 4.2.16
The Video I talk about is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Vhc4lGqfhk
Is this a missing feature in the Youtube App or did I make a mistake?
Well, if the video was 2d to begin with, youtube can't magically make it into a 3d video.
