Hi all,
I have this movie Avatar which carries the MIME type of video/mp4-3d (refer attachment picture). I'm looking for a tool which can do the same for my other plain MP4 videos.
Why ?
The standard EVO 3D video player can switch to 3D mode when playing a plain MP4 videos on the local disk. But when I'm using the app called "Connected Media" or "Skifta" which allows to stream movies through DLNA servers, I would had lost the option to switch to 3D mode already. However any videos which carries the video/mp4-3d MIME type (Like my Avatar movie) would be successfully streamed via the default player as 3D beautifully.
So here's my question:-
1) Anyone knows of a tool or way to change the MP4 MIME type to MP4-3D ?
Otherwise
2) Anyone knows of a player which allows to stream plain MP4 movies as 3D from DLNA servers ?
Thanks, hopefully its not too complicated to understand what was I posting above.

Solution
So far the only solution was given to me is to RE-ENCODE the movie back to MP4 using handbrake and adding additional settings frame-packing=3) under the ADVANCED tab. With this encoding method, your 3D movies will now be played as 3D mode automatically. Refer screenshot for more details...

I have yet to see anyone confirm that the MHL adapter will output 3d to a 3d enabled tv, (since it is said to only support 2d currently in 1.0) and I wanted to check out how well it works. So I began figuring out a way to do it, and while not as simple as hooking up a cable to your phone it works and works quite well.
I have a Mitsubishi 3d tv and it worked well on it, as I am not a 3d tv expert I am not sure how or if it will work on other ones, but I would think it would.
I am using an Xbox 360 to achieve this, however a laptop hooked up to your 3d tv will probably also work.
Video has played in 3d fine across my xbox 360. I first tried using the Windows Media Center and it worked well, but WMC proved to be way to slow for me. Also my pictures would not show up. So I continued experimenting and came up with the way listed below which now displays all my content.
1. Install tversity onto your computer and configure it to run on your Xbox 360 as well as set up a folder to hold your 3d content.
2. Drag all the content you want to see from your phone on the 3d tv into the folder. I simply named a folder 3dcontent so I could easily identify it on the Xbox.
3. Download StereoPhoto Maker I am not sure what XDAs policy is on links but just Google StereoPhoto Maker it is the first result.
4. Open StereoPhoto Maker and then add a photo to it by going to file open stereo image. This will give you a split stereo image from your .mpo file which is what your phone saves them as. Just simply hit s, and a dialog box will come up in which you just hit save. You end up with a bunch of stereoscopic image jpeg's.
5. Access tversity on your Xbox 360 and browse to your pictures folder that holds the stereoscopic 3d photos once you start viewing the pictures simply switch your 3d tv into the left right mode, turn on your glasses, and you should now have your photos in 3d.
If you are having trouble with the videos simply go into tversity under settings then trans coder and set to always trans code.
Hope this helps those of you wanting to watch your 3d content on the big screen.
Great post, I have been courious
I don't have a 3d tv yet but with this phone makes me want to have one. Will the phone stream 2d to a tv as well?? The only info I saw on the HTC site was about 3d video.
There is an even easier way....
I turn on the Media Share option (DLNA Server) on the 3VO and then with my ps3 play back the movies directly off the phone and make sure my TV decodes the 3D video as SBS (Side By Side).
I have a 65" PAnasonic Plasma 3d TV and it did not detect the 3D video automatically when playing it through the PS3 but once I forced my TV's 3D mode to SBS it worked perfectly.
EDIT: This method only works for movies recorded on your Evo 3d not pictures as the PS3 does not recognize the .mpo format.
I just got an new 55" LG 3DTV and it has WiFi builtin. DLNA works great with just the TV and Phone but just like the PS3 it will not do 3d pictures because of the format (.mpo or .jps).
So the phone does actually save 3D images and video.... Has anyone tried using something like TriDef (DDD) to play the 3D files? I'm considering picking one of these up as I got a 3D TV now as its cheaper than an actual 3D camera and quite frankly it would make my adventures look awesomer. Anyone care to upload sample files I could try out?
Dogan
Googling EVO 3D Images returned bunch of 2D images :/
I have searched and read guides for handbrake and freemake regarding transcoding for the EVO 3D movies to play on the EVO 3d. My problem is I have tried using a couple different sbs movie files. I will get an end product of movie with video that works with no sound or I have sound with a flashing screen. Any help would be awesome. BTW I followed the guides as to all codec resolution audio etc
Where are the guides located? I've been trying to play 3D movies on it myself
+1 on interest of topic. Would love to have more 3d movies on it.

thnx
Yeah, I know it's possible cause my movies are in stereoscopic format, made for "side by side" non-glasses viewing, but it's frustrating I can't find anywhere online how to view them on my 3VO. So I decided it was finally time to join XDA forums
I know one of y'all can help!
It's remarkably confounding: no preloaded app/player for media! (Watch doesn't count as you can only buy/rent and play from their store.) If I could just open the video player and load the 3D movie file, I'm sure it would work... I'm referring to the built-in video player that only opens [for me] when viewing a 3D video that I've recorded, opened from the Gallery... ;-/
@keen77
I used this guide to get 3D movies transcoded to my EVO 3D:
www [dot] goodandevo [dot] net/2011/06/how-to-make-your-existing-3d-videos-play-nice-with-the-htc-evo-3d.html (sorry as a XDA newb I’m not allowed to post links).
[By the way, this is a great website to stay informed on developments concerning your EVO 3D!]
I only don't recommend using Handbrake (on which the article is based) but rather Freemake Video Converter (see way down the same article). Freemake is WAY superior, both in transcoding performance (quality & speed), ease of use and user interface (which could arguably be called "beautiful"). Use the same settings as the article suggests for Handbrake (including changing the resolution to 960x540) and you should be good to go! I only used this on HD videos 1920x1080 with half side-by-side, but it works perfectly on them.
I only have a problem with the fact that some videos at my disposal have the left and right images swapped the wrong way (which off course has nothing to do with the to mentioned video convertors). Watching this is a very confusing experience!
Does someone know how you can easily swap the left and right images in (half) SBS video's? I tried StereoMovie Maker (stereo [dot] jpn [dot] org/eng/stvmkr/index.html), but it stops saving the "swapped file" halfway through the saving process... and besides that the proces involves 3 transcodings (original->avi [Freemake], avi->swapped-avi [StereoMovie Maker], avi->mp4 [Freemake]) which doesn't do the quality any good and is lengthy.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Flipping the phone over corrects the 3D in those cases.
What do you mean "corrects the 3D," and in what cases? Sorry don't follow
Go into the Themes & Apps section for the Evo 3D and loom at the posts stickied. One talks about 3D movies.

I did one up in handbrake today. It was a 1080p side by side. I just dropped the frame down to qhd and then ran it with my normal 3vo settings. It dropped the file size down from 4.7 giggers to just over half a gig.
I have a video folder on my root that I move them info that shows up in the stock gallery app. When playing you need to hit menu and choose view in 3d.
It's a crap movie, but it was the only of the type I could find lol

Does anyone know a good app that can stream 3d movies on your pc to your evo 3d?? I can't seem to find one. I've tried plex, skifta, gmote and it wont play in 3d. I think the only player that can allow you to play in 3d is the Evo's native video player which gives you the option to 3d. Otherwise you have to place the 3d movie on your phones SD card which takes up a lot of space. So I am trying to store it on my computer and just stream it through DLNA. If anyone knows that would be great.
Try zumocast. Havent tried it for 3d movies but i dont see why it wouldnt work.

I actually had the same thought and tried zumocast but it just plays the movie sbs. I think it must use a default player that doesn't support stereoscopic.

Have you tried from VLC direct Pro? According to the app, you can stream from phone to pc and vice versa. I emailed them about it, but they have yet to respond. A lot of the movie files I've seen are over 4GB, which is the limit for either android or my HTC evo3d (forgot).
EDIT:
Also, MX Video allows me to play all the 3D videos I've recorded. I prefer this app to the native for movies because it has convenient controls using swipe gestures.
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)

with VLC on the PC and VLC s&c you can stream 2D Movies, but not 3D.
But the method is fast and smooth =D

Split into 2gb chunks, or reduce bitrate.

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.
Okay before anyone starts flaming me, I did search, but since the phone is called 3d I was getting a ton of posts that had nothing to do with video formats. I know I have seen some good info but I can't find it now.
I am curious about formats. I have done some reading and am using handbrake to convert videos (they are converting as I type), but I think they are going to play side by side. Know I have figured out that if I use the HTC video player, I can tell it to play in 3D mode, but I like Meridian and am starting to like MX. They both play 3D as I have a few videos that it does play in 3D. Question is how do I get SBS videos to play in 3D on these other players.
A primer in 3d formats would be great.
