[Q] quality over quantity HTC EVO 3D screen - HTC EVO 3D

heres the math, and ive looked though the threads and to no avail, lets say i have a 3d blueray rip 1080p mp4 sterieoscopic file that is 13gigs. looks great on a 60 inch HD-3d plasma screeen but i dont have one. i wanna scale it down to fit on a 4.3 inch 540x960 3vo screen. what is the way to go about this? best resolution (in 3d) in a itty bitty living space. ive watched movies in 2d that were mp4 and only 400mb and were stunning. and ive watched avatar in 3d that was almost 2 gigs and it blew me away. but does it really need to be that big to get the most bang for my buck.
Second Question, The largest micro sd card the phone can handle, and where can i pay the least for it. thanks

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

Look at this thread for recommended video converters, the OP states the best options to use and they work pretty good http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140313.
As for the sd card im not too sure but I'd take a quick search in the accessories thread there will probably be a lot in there

converter
freemake has done a good job for me with the right settings

I've got the hang of using handbrake. To my understanding mp4's are best because of the way they compress the data, I have found a lot useful threads that got to the conclusion no one agrees there is no right answer , and it is just a matter of preference. My question was more technically speaking for the point of saving space without sacrificing resolution.

I've converted part of my copy of a certain 3D Blu-Ray from the 10GB MKV that I use on my 3D monitor to an 84MB MP4 sample using handbrake. I suggest converting a shorter sample to test your handbrake settings before going the distance on the whole file, and testing how it runs on your EVO 3D before as well. My sample was missing audio on the EVO but not the PC. PM me for more info.

[Q] Stereoscopic side by side 3D MKV movies on Evo3D possible?

I'm seeing that all the dvd rips for 3D movies are called side by side stereoscopic. Pretty big files from what I'm seeing too (3-4 gigs). Are these the 3D movie files that are gonna be for sale? Or possibly another type?
I haven't heard of any 3d video content for sell other than Blockbusters 3d Video rental app of course. I have no idea what format it will read or make when you use 3d videos :/.
I'm not really surprised that the file size is so huge. If I'm not mistaken, to create the 3D effect, the makers of the 3D movies, when putting together a 3D movie, are just putting another copy of the movie, just slightly moved to the left or right. Which causes the 'in-depth' look of a 3D movie.

+1..there are many ways 3d is created and not one of them involves the same image offset..that's for people with a lazy eye..not 3d. Lol

No he's correct.
It's called cross-eyed 3-D. hahaha
It works but its not easy, takes me a while to achieve it only for a short instance as my contacts begin to bother me.

He's got the right idea. Two cameras are used to capture the same object from 2 different perspectives to allow the perception of depth, just like your eyes.

After reading many of the recent reviews, I have noticed that the Evo records video in SBS (side by side) 3D. So I have a pretty good hope that my collection of 3D mkvs can be converted and will be watchable in 3d.
So will RealD movies be able to be watched in 3D on the phone? I see that RealD is based on SBS, but it's meant to be seen with glasses. Also, does anyone know if the IMAX 3D videos would be playable?
I'm not even going to attempt to make an assumption about this, because I have no idea about whether it will work or not.
The stereoscopic RealD Format is a patented version of a side-by-side 3D formatting technology.

Real D is meant to be seen with glasses because of the screen you're viewing it on. There is a reason we only have glasses free 3d on small devices. So far for glasses free you have a limited viewing angle and range. For the time being you can't pull this off at the scale of a theater let alone an IMAX. Intel had showcased a glasses free 3d tv that was around 37" at a CES a few years back. While it worked the viewing angles were poor for a television http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/intel-shows-off-glasses-free-3d-demo-now-this-is-more-like-it/.
Anyway 3D isn't shot in too many different ways. The biggest issue is what format your TV has to output the 3D to match the glasses. In the PS3 you don't have to make sure your 3D is recorded a certain way, you just have to make sure you choose an output format on your PS3 that matches what your TV uses. It should be the same here on the Evo 3D, except the Evo has one screen so it knows how to display the images for that screen. The basic principle behind 3D is you're showing two different images at the same time, one for your right eye and one for your left to trick you into seeing depth.
Uhh, thanks?
My question wasn't about how RealD or IMAX 3D work... but rather if we would be able to view those types on our devices with glasses-less.
I'm not worried about viewing them on my TV, because I have a 3D TV already, so I'm just asking about the videos on our phones.
If not, then we will be EXTREMELY limited it what we can view in 3D (other than our own recordings), as far as movies go.
So, does anyone know if we can use either of those two formats on our phones, or is this something that we'll just have to wait for the phones so we can actually test it?

Seeing as the 3D content is fully supported by the hardware and display I don't see why a stereoscopic player can't be coded. That's to say that this device will not support these formats natively. The most common are .m2ts & .mkv, they do weigh in pretty hefty with a 1080p movie averaging about 10gb (Avatar is like 16) It seems to me that the standard 3D format for the phone would be SBS since it has the SBS camera. With that being the case we can naturally assume that it will process these videos much in the same way your current 3D tv does (merging two images)
As for all the flamming and atrocious ignorance displayed on the 1st page of this thread........GOOGLE before attempting to flame someone that knows more than you on a subject.

This is a perfect example of how the 3D in question is achieved. STEREOSCOPE means dual vision, meaning a different image is sent to each eye. Meaning two images spaced appart like your own eyes. The director of "House of Wax" 1953 (Vincent Price) had trouble when shooting the film because he only had one good eye and could not see the effects properly.

I think we will have to wait. But I should have an answer for you by the end of the day on Friday, cuz I will have a 3d converted MKV all ready to go.
Outcome
It is simple, MKV is not supported on the Evo3D. You need to convert it to mp4 format to be played.
When the movie starts it is being seen as Side By Side (2 images). Then simply hit Menue button (the one that looks like 3 lines) and then select view in 3D and it works great.
Now the question is when converting what is the correct format to convert it to (resolution for 3D). Over the next few weeks I am going to try the settings and see what is best, so far I used the regular conversion from one to one, just the format and it plays fine.

Converting 3D videos using Freemake

I posted this in the Q&A section but thought it might be better suited to General. However, I can't change the thread location so I figured I'd link to it here in case anyone is interested.
To sum up: I found that I couldn't get audio output from 3D files after I'd converted using Handbrake, but that no such trouble existed when I used Freemake. Good luck!
[How to] Convert 3d videos using Freemake
Does it do it faster than handbrake?? For me it takes for ever
Sent From My "Desperate For Root 3VO"...
Well, I just did about 190 minutes of footage in 2 hours of encoding time (a batch of five ~40-minute videos). Time seems pretty good to me, I"d say slightly faster tahn handbrake??
Do my settings like I say, it should be good. Use version 2.2 (the one they offer for DL on their site)

Cool Feature I Found

So today at work (I Work at Best Buy) I was bored and found the media share app. Turned it on and the new Samsung and Sony Smart TV's could pick up my phones music, Movies, and Pictures over WIFI. Which is cool on its own. But I also noticed that the 3D T.V.s could pick up the 3D movies on my phone. So I was streaming avatar in 3D to the Sony TV and watching that for a little bit. The Samsung also recognizes 3d movies you filmed from the 3VO's Camera. Unfortunately It doesn't recognize 3D Pictures, so I'm trying to find a work around for that. But still Pretty cool for Samsung 3d tv's!! (For some reason i couldn't get it to stream the 3VO's 3D film on the sony when it played avatar considering their both mp4 files. I'll mess more with that when I go back, I might just have been in the wrong folder when I tried cus a customer was bugging me )
Just a heads up for those interested, I was only streaming a compressed 3d movie. Resolution was formatted to 940X540 i.e. the 3VO's screen. I'm Planning on trying to stream a full size 1080p Movie when I work next. Ill keep anyone whose interested informed on my progress. The only prob is a full size movie is anywhere from 10-18GB depending on length so I also need a bigger SD Card
I'm Also looking to test on Panasonic 3D TV's because I believe they support more formats than Samsung when it comes to picture formats, but unfortunately my Best Buy doesn't have a 3D Panasonic TV on display so that'll have to come later...
I think it can push to any DLNA tv
yeah, not to detract from your discovery, but that's kinda the point of DLNA.
...regardless, it's still a fantastic feature.

Motorola Photon Optimal Handbrake Settings

Can someone post the optimal handbrake settings for handbrake to rip movies to the photon. I ripped movies for my epic and they don't play now on the photon. I assume because of the h264 incompatibility. so for now what settings should i be using ?
I'm also interested in this.
I use just the normal settings, but don't know if that's "optimal"
Why not just use the evo 3D's settings for non 3D movies? Its the same 960x540 settings, same resolution, and same formats.

These settings should be "optimal" for the photon.

These should be known as 'the Photon settings' instead of the evo 3D's - because everything else is inferior.
I was putting full size hd videos on my epic and it would scale them down and it looked perfect. i am looking to keep the resolutions as they are so if i plug the phone into the hdmi it will still look great. those settings are way compressed and of not a good quality.
I am still having problems with playback on my photon that i had no problem with on my Epic. Can someone please help !? Search option is worthless it keeps giving me results for the xoom.

You'll need to clarify your problem a bit more.
Movies that played on my epic will not play on my photon. when i rip movies on handbrake some will play and some won't. I am starting to regret getting the photon due to all the bugs with video playback ! I was wanting to know the settings i should use for handbrake but everyone short answers me and won't give the full rundown like bitrate container and if h264 is even compatible with this piece of crap phone !
The link posted above has all the information you're requesting. I'm not aware of the Photon scaling video on-the-fly and I doubt it'll work properly.
that is bare minimum i am looking for max quality

3d movie

Am I the only one who can't watch the green Hornet 3d that came with the 3vo.. It keeps saying downloading lisence and does not do anything.. Is there a way to get past it
Quick thumbing frm my 3vo.. So LISTENNNN!!!
Trust me. You're better off not ever watching that movie.
AND it takes up almost 4 Gigs of data. Delete that as quickly as possible.
There are a jillion better ways to use that space.
<<work in progress>>
I saw the movie, not all that great and a great waste of space if you ask me.
(its been on HBO and not all that great in 3D)
In order to answer you question though, I did not have any issue watching the movie but I had to register w/ htc etc... some user name and bs like that in order to watch it.
but what I just did was find some 3d movies and added them to my card, only took up half the space and didn't require htc watch in order to view them to watch in 3d.
What I'm wondering is that it could be your ROM that your running? if so, which one are you?
Also, I have some movies that are great on 3D but there not your hollywood types. The ones I have were open source and ready for everyone but did make it 3D with a nice conversion. Let me know if interested. The one that I currently have on my SD card is a sweet documentary about sea life and it looks really sweet on 3D.
OK cool.. Can I get the download links for the 3d movies and where would you download 3d movies from like new 3d movies??
Quick thumbing frm my 3vo.. So LISTENNNN!!!
Oh yea I'm running stock 3vo rom right now
Quick thumbing frm my 3vo.. So LISTENNNN!!!
I would go to ur favorite torrent site and type in evo 3d, I always get a list of movies that have been converted for the evo in 3d. Im pretty sure we cant list torrent sites on here...
What file type is the 3d movies?
Sent from my 3vo
Mine are in the normal mp4 format.
Lol thanks
Quick thumbing frm my 3vo.. So LISTENNNN!!!
Whatever site you want to visit, just search for "sbs" which is "side by side", that's the format our phones use for 3d. However, doing it this way will get results for any 3d movie, so they might not be in the correct resolution. And they might be bigger in size. But then you will find Handbrake is your best friend.
