As far as I can find, the Netflix Android app doesn't support 3D streaming on any device.

may just be a matter of netflix needing to catchup with devices, although i doubt it will happen since few mobile devices posses the capability to do 3d. although i wouldn't doubt that one of the developers on here could come up with something.

[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.

But I am wondering if it will appear double when trying to view on a non-3d device...
I'm sure it'll look "2d" to a regular pc/phone. Gleaming from the shots that were uploaded on picasa, I'm assuming they just look like lower resolution pics to the 2d crowd.
Thats a good question. Will it have the red/blue double video like non glasses free 3d devices. I will have to send a 3d video from the g-slate at work to my phone to see what it looks like. Could have different settings I guess but I would think it records the video in 3d so there wouldnt be a way to format it once its recorded to 2d. Just my opinion but I will check that out tomorrow.

I'm wondering if there will be a way that I can convert my normal movies(2d) into a 3d format to watch on the phone. Anyone know of anything like this?
It is simple, If you have 3d capable you will see it 3d, if not you will see it 2d.
If you take a 3d picture and wanna share it on Facebook, it will turn
2D(I think until Facebook, make photos 3d capable on their website).
In YouTube if you upload 3d you will see it 3d. You can browse HTC YouTube site and there is The EVO 3d comercial in 2d and in 3d and you will see something like if you take the glases off in a 3d movie.
About sending 3d content I think that will depend if the phone is 3d capable or not, but if not if will convert the photo in 2d.

Read more first, then ask questions. C'mon guy. Your smarter than this.. I know it.
To clarify, I'm not talking about sharing via a service like YouTube.
I'm talking about video and photos recorded in 3d (from the cameras) and how the original file will be viewed on 2d devices. For example from my laptop if I copy the video to it.

The 3d videos will deff appear in a split screen look in 2d. Check the wirefly preview of the device and ffwd to about 6:15 in the video and youll see. I would assume the same would be for pictures too.

I found more info about this Today.
I was searching in Youtube videos Review of the EVO 3D and a found what you was asking.

Converting 3D BluRay for Evo 3D

Seeing as the EVO 3D will be out in a couple weeks, i wanted to get a head start converting some of my favorite 3D movies that i own to work on the EVO 3D.
I know the phone is not out and we won't know what will work till the phone comes out. Does anyone have any theories on what will work the best? I heard that there is a code in the header of the movie file that tells the EVO to enable 3D mode.
According to the Wiki the EVO 3D supports these movie formats:
MPEG4 / H.263 / H.264 / WMV
Ive already down converted Avatar 3D to 720P. But i am not sure if this affects the 3D on the movie.
Lets see if we can get a head start on figuring this stuff out!
I was converting fallow this instruction>>> http://www.pubarticles.com/article-...s-on-lg-optimus-3d-smartphone-1298019262.html for LG Optimus 3D. I tryed to find out so many times to do that, but four people confirmed that it's doesn't work. I Want to make sure that phone can run 3d movies before I get it. I do not know why there is no any information that phone can or can not playback movies when we put some on the phone. That is priority for me, Im not so exciting that I can record movie in 3d, The most thing is can I playback in 3d for example movie like avatra 3d or resident evil 3d.

You can't make 2D content 3D and have it noticeable. Movie studios take months to do it for 2D movies and the end result is still really crappy.

I do not know how well it works, as I am waiting to get my 3D EVO before I try it out, but there is a video conversion program called Wondershare that claims to do just what you asked.
the most important think is can you playback 3d movies (avatar 3d)on evo 3d ? if yes how to do that, how to convert?
Well, I just find this 2D to 3D Video Converter which can convert 2D video to 3D format. So i wonder if the created 3d video files can be played on EVO 3D.

What he said. I'm sure there is software out there to do it, but you're better off starting off with actual 3D content.
You're talking about taking a video shot from one perspective and somehow magically giving it depth? If there's any software to do it, I can't imagine it producing good results.
I know DvDFab does this but never tested but I will now

At least we got the million dollar question out of the way before the device even officially launched
LOL but IMHO my answer to the 2D->3D question would be simply no.
A good example of this would be the movie TRON 3D
The movie was filmed in 2D, but the 3D thing was all the craze so they added 3D in the CGI portions. With the glasses on the movies special effects came to life but the characters themselves remained dull and submersed within the screen.
You can't add depth to a flat plane. You can fake it but if the data is not there you can only imagine what would have been in it's place.
It's just like walking into a museum and looking at paintings. You're not gonna see 3D because the even though the you're using two eyes to view the image. There is no depth to interpret.
YES. you can make 2D-3D and look AWESOME
Actually you can.
I have been playing around with it for a long time now for use with the Vuzix Iwear 3D glasses.
It won't let me post the link so google
3DCOMBINE
and see for yourself
Richard Scullion, nice guy, in the UK, his software is AMAZING, it takes about 3 days to convert a full length movie from 2D-3D and IT IS NOTICEABLE.
His software allows you to select the amount of depth you wish, the more depth the longer and possible worse the video gets but this is just amazing software.

[Q] Remove 3D from video to watch on non 3D TV

The phone has a "remove 3D" feature for photos but not for movies. The only way I know how to do this for video is to upload to youtube and watch online since it lets you remove the 3D off of videos. But how can you remove already recorded videos in 3D to play in 2D? Maybe there is a but what am I missing. And before you bash me, I have done a search everywhere on this topic and I cannot find the answer.

Well you see, I recently took a trip to Mexico (various places) and I could not help taking 3D video of various natural places I went (ie water falls, huge rocks, canyons things of that nature) But now that I am home, I would like to convert that video back to 2D for playback on my non 3D tv to show the family. There is no feature on the phone to convert the 3D video to 2D like with the pictures. Right now my only option is to upload the video to Youtube and play it from there because youtube gives you the option of taking the 3D off. When I play the 3D video off my PS3 or from the EVO 3D streaming feature, you see both left and right video. Makes it hard to watch.

In terms of doing this from the phone. No, not possible. But there is PC based software that can so it. http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stvmkr/ try that, I saw it in my searches for video conversions. Obviously not convenient. :-\
Honestly, I don't see why this feature isn't just available. Its just removing one of the images from the video. Can't be that hard to do that right?!
