[Q] Cant watch 3D converted Youtube videos - HTC EVO 3D

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.

But that states 1080p,
the video you're trying to watch is 480p.
Maybe that's one reason..

Sure, but why can I view a side-by-side version on my computer, but not on the evo 3D?

Because the video must be HD for the 3d's youtube app to properly display it.

If it is yours, download the 3D video to your phone and then view it.

Ok, thx for the information. I will upload a 1080p version and try it.

[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?

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

Convert 3D video to 2d video?

Is there any software out there that can do this? I don't want to see two side by side videos on my computer when I view the movie I recorded.

when you "share" the video, it will ask you if the device you are sharing to is a 2d or 3d device.
edit: wait, I guess that only works for pictures.
I am wondering the same thing. If you upload a 3D video to YouTube, it gives you options to just watch in 2D from either camera angle, but no option to export just one camera view....rather frustrating. Anyone have a solution?
I'm looking for an answer to this as well. I took 3d video but someone wants a copy but i cant send it to them since they dont have 3d. I thought the "share as 2d" would pop up but it didnt for videos,...only pics.
Put it on your computer then save it as a mpeg 4, AVI etc....

That still keeps it as 3d (side x side). We want to view the 3d video as 2d on our computer screens/hdtv (non 3d).
try this program, it may work as u wish...

Tag MP4 as 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.

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.

3D on Moboplayer

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?

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)

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

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.
