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.

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

Hey thanks for this info I know I'm reviving a zombie thread.
Two Additions
1. I just have to figure out how to swap left and right eyes.
2. The software is still "free" however they try twice to install crapware on your computer. Click advanced install and don't agree to the first EULA.
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?

1. Yes, I mean pressing menu--play in 3D
2. The videos have 3D in their name and all of them all SBS video. I am sure theyr are 3D video (watched some of them in the 3DTV before), but no luck when converting them into m4v/mkv file
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

Where exactly do you write the 3D tag? Please be clear I need to know this...?
What ROM are you currently on?
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.

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.

I Have a few movies downloaded in 3D in the Side by Side Format. I was wondering if there is any player out there that will play the file in Full Screen 2D.
Like getting rid of the right image and stretch the left image to fit the screen instead of overlaying the two images.
No, that's the format. It has to be reformatted first

i was actually curious about this too because if you record something with the phone it lets you switch and if you transfer that to your computer or play it in another player its a sbs video so im thinking it has to be something simple like a tag that the phone reads.... i did notice that if you view it with the phone and long press "detail" then it shows mp4-3d so if there is a way to make it see your movie like this i think it would work i just havn't yet figured it out as im still playing around with 3d movies and such
Hi guys,
Hoping someone here can help. I like the idea of using the watch app widget to store my 3d content for ease of playback.
Now when i watch the green hornet in 3d through the watch app it plays in 3d wonderfully.
So i have moved some of my 3d movies to the 'htc watch' 'preloads' folder to take advantage of the widget. I can see the thumbnails and i can play the movies. However, for some reason it is playing them side by side instead of 3d.
So i presume it is not using the built in player but instead another one, maybe es movie player? I presume this because When the movie is running and i try hitting the menu button nothing happens.
So my questions are
1) is it possible to make the watch app default to using the inbuilt player.
or
2) is there away i can tag the movie so that whichever player watch is using it plays the 3d movie in 3d the way it does with the green hornet?
Thanks.

Sometimes when you go to play certain media and there are more than one program that will use it, the OS will ask you which one do you want to use. If not maybe you have set the other one to be the default.
If you go to the APPS section in the settings menu and you find the default app that opens when you play that type of file, you can probably clear the defaults and that should let you choose next time you open that file type.

That was what i was looking for thanks. Unfortunately it is saying there are no defaults. Maybe the watch app is its own player?
Any other ideas?
Someone in another thread mentioned that you could alter the name of the saved file to get the player to play it in 3d but then never said what to change it too.
have you tried hitting menu then select Watch in 3D?
