[Q] Decent 3D youtube videos?

Anyone got any that show off the phone's 3D capabilities?
The only decent ones I've found are by 1tompo1

I've found the GoPro 3D ones on you tube to be good but that ones something else ;-)
Thanks for sharing.

I've tried the looney toons one, but it only views side by side on my phone, both on 2D and on 3D mode!
How can I watch the videos in 3D? I'm currently trying to watch them with the stock video player, on stock ROM.
EDIT:
The answer to this is:
- Open the video
- press MENU key
- 3D formatter
- Click the L R one (on the left)
- try other ones if the L R one doesn't work
Also: Huge tip:
The video's that are optimized for the HTC evo 3D also work on the LG optimus 3D.
the evo 3D has some content as well, quite cool.
Here's a link to a converter, I can't post links yet so do this:
Google this:

Click I'm feeling lucky or the first result.

[Q] how to detect 3D source movie?

Hi
I download some 3D movies (with left/right screen showing in laptop) with .wma file type.
However, the optimus 3D cannot detect it is 3D and even I use 3D function the phone just make it 3D but left/right screen just playing the same time
anyway to tell the phone it is 3D source?
thanks

Are you sure they are .wma? WMA files are meant to be audio only (Windows Media Audio) so shouldn't have video and therefore would not play in 3D if they were another format that had simply been mislabelled. Or do you mean wmv and it was a typo?
There are various things you can try.
It is possible it is an mp4 file and that the header is simply corrupted. If the video file is an mpeg 4 but for some reason not being correctly recognised you can patch the header (takes a few seconds on a pc) using the free software called Mp4Cam to Avi (http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...ze3QCA&usg=AFQjCNEMl4yuInKgQTIOVIsqx5px2E4MJg) which will patch the header to make it a fully compliant mpeg 4 video file.
You can transcode the file using free software like Super (http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...nPCWCQ&usg=AFQjCNFJQYHaPCRa5vQsYmSTXhTLw5x4gA). This will make it another format instead (mpeg 4 is a good option if your file is in an incompatible format).
EDIT: Assuming the phone is in landscape mode (the only mode 3D videos will play as 3D in) when the videos play if you touch the screen you see a button say 2D. Click that to make it 3D but if the button does not work or does not appear try restarting your phone and when it has restarted they may play.
Dave

Thanks! That is wmv.
I figure out a way to combine the left/right screen into one. it is unexpectedly easy just play the files (whatever video) in 3D mode, then choose the option by the left key, then I can choose the left/right combine in the screen (either L/R, R/L, top/down or as a whole combination)
thanks!

Now working. Just need to reset the phone after download 3d movies.
Tkx.

If you download the free app called "rescan media" from the android market you shouldn't need to restart phone. What this does is tell O3D you added new files and then makes it check them and add them to the galleries which is also what happens when you restart the phone or unmount the sd card.

Nice one... Thanks.

Watching 3D Movies on the LG Optimus 3D

For the last few weeks, I’ve been experimenting with different video codecs and 3D converters to make movies such as Tron Legacy and Avatar watchable on my phone without 3D glasses. The problem was that the phone would not recognize the 3D content, even if I used the official H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec for BlueRay 3D. Tonight, I stumbled on the solution. Here are the steps to get the movie to show on the LG Optimus 3D:
Obtain a 3D stereoscopic movie and make sure the frames are side by side (as shown below). Also verify that the file format of the movie is compatible with the LG Optimus 3D (H.264, H.263, DivX, MKV, WMV-9, ASF, AVI, 3GP and MP4). Also, if you are planning to use an external MicroSD card, the movie must be smaller than 4GBs (as Android only recognizes the FAT file system) or cut up into smaller than 4GB parts. Note that most native BlueRay 3D movies are enormous (over 17GB)!
Once the movie is on the phone (via USB host on MicroSD or on the hard drive itself), play the movie using the Gallery app. Click on the little 3D icon at the bottom right of the screen. The movie will still show side by side, but will enter 3D mode.
Click the Android options button (the icon looks like a solid box inside a clear box at the bottom left of your phone) and you will get the following options:
Click on the 3D Formatter option. It will provide you with a number of 3D options including Left/Right, Right/Left, Top/Bottom and Fullscreen 3D. Select Left/Right (first option on the left, as shown below):
A message will appear that says: “This 3D data is saved as valid 3D contents with the formatter which you’ve chosen“. From that point on, the phone will recognize this movie as 3D and the little 3D icon will appear at the bottom of the movie. The good news is, as soon as you launch it, the movie will run in 3D.
Enjoy your movie!

gallery problem
the gallery dont update and i can find all folders, for that reaseon i cant play movie in 3D? what can i do???
regards.

Are you using a custom ROM that doesn't have 3D, like CM7?
If not, maybe try renaming the files to .avi to get the player to recognise them.
Or navigate to the files using a file explorer without the video player open and then open them from the file explorer..

You guys are doing it all wrong...
First off, get MeGUI for PC, re-encode your 3D movies (I don't care what source, there's plenty of tutorials online) as a SBS (Side-By-Side) to ~1.5GB @ 800x448 (16:9), with whatever audio you want. (I usually reuse the original 5.1) Compile your results as .mkv
Get the application 3DV Player (Chinese android app, works on both Froyo and GB), and load up your re-encoded 3D SBS MKV file, hit the 3D button at the top right, and adjust your depth to your preference, and viola.
The LONGEST and most DIFFICULT part of this is the encoding in MeGUI and it's really not all that difficult as it is long. I've already done this for Tron: Legacy (SUPER BEAUTIFUL btw), and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, and plan on doing more of my 3D collection (which i'm now building because of this phone). It's worth the effort, especially when you can fit upwards 4 full length 3D movies onto 1 8gb SD card (or 2 movies on the phone's memory with space to spare).

CyanogenMod does NOT SUPPORT 3D. Therefore NO 3D FEATURES WILL WORK. Please check if your ROM supports 3D before attempting to do anything in 3D. There are a lot of ROMs floating around the forums that DO support 3D, like Prometheus ROM and Acidhazard Kitchen, try installing one of those and try again.
For anyone else reading this thread, CM DOES NOT SUPPORT 3D. Please do not post that CM does not support 3D, it's right there on the CM thread that it DOES NOT SUPPORT 3D OR HDMI OUT. Please read all disclaimers!

I know that. I'm using Prometheus. Just explaining it could be the guy's problem

I thought you were replying to me, not expounding on my previous instructions to elaborate that he couldn't do anything in 3D.

Once you have it re-encoded to fit the 2gb limit, and with the SBS or Half-SBS format, play it, it will not be 3d YET, switch the 3D toggle, capacitive menu button, 3d formatter, then choose the sbs format and voilá.

has anybody tried micro sd formarted to ntfs to bypass the 4gb limit i think iblumind`s and sano`s kernels had ntfs support

You don't need to format the SD card with my method, my method maximizes the space taken since we DON'T need 1080p 3D or even 720p 3D on our phones. I don't know why everyone's going about trying to fix the phone for the video file when it's FAR easier (and FAR more productive) to fix the video file for the phone! Also the battery drain (even using hardware acceleration) to decode 1080p, even 720p is greater than if you encode at the native res of the phone.

Oh hmr007 so genius. Now we can play 3d 1080p movie x264 avc like from yify on Optimus 3D. 2011 hardware
Unfortunately the subtitle will crash. So the subtitle srt file removed. Fle video on mp4 btw. Example video.mp4 video.srt
Srt will crashed the player on 3d

How about LG 3D 2? It work or not?

3D movie player

I am sorry if this thread is already been posted but i need to ask.
when i was on GB the Default player of Of O3D reads 3D movie , i watched 3D movie on my phone. but ever since i come on ICS ported by Xbsal or CM10 i can't watch 3D movie anymore.
SO my question is there any 3D player out there. Normally the Default player of ICS ported should read 3Ds but everytime when i play 3D movie or clips the screen share 2 sides.

The stock player support 3D .
However , this may help :-

Same problem here. System video player does play MP4 and MKV, but it does not have 3D button for SBS video.
3DVPlayer load on ICS, but does not play video.

When ever u play movie on stock player. This is not an issue of player.do following steps and i hope u will helped.
1. Tap 3D button when video is playing, it will start video as 3d but still 2 side video
2. Tap Menu key it will open video options, then go to 3D formatter.
3. Tap on LR (Left and Right) option
Then it will give u 3d with one screen. Also it saved that video as 3d for future.

Do u really have a stock player?? because it have 3D button on the uper right side of the screen. Also u can use 3d button on the phone. When 3d is enabled then 3d formatter option will available.
If there is no 3d button than it would nt be a stock player.
If u want to install stock player. I will also help u. But first recheck my steps

Yes, I think I am on stock player. The version number is 2.3.113.
I may wrong. I am on XBSA v5. I never change video player.
And also I could play my old 3D video which I captured by my phone. There is no 3D button on the screen when I play those video, but it works. For some reason when I try to play SBS MP4 or MKV. There is no 3D as well.
In gallery I can see 3D icon on my video but not on those MP4 video. It looks like the player just do not recognize those videos are 3D.
Could you please upload a Video Player current you have?
Thanks for help.

Fixed, the 3D video working.
The problem is I changed product name in build.prop file. Now I change back, 3D working.
But one of my movie does not support by play, it used working on 2.3.3.

I had found solution a long time ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33528599&postcount=76
BTW files MP4 and MKV (sbs) from another sources work very well for me even 2D files can be converted to 3D .

That is the way I fixed my problem.

It working On ICS
I have found out a way to do it on ICS and it work perfectly, If you have the Default player of ICS or GB when you start the video it comes in 2 side so all you have to do is that you just have to change the 3D format in Option of the player it works fine. On CM10 in another hand it won't work because of the Default player does not support 3D yet. even you install the 3D player still got no chance of it to work. But Guy We have many developers in here, so soon or later they will bring 3D back on CM10 its just matter of time, so be patient.

I was saying that in CM10 with this 3D player will not read 3D movies, but it will play any format of video smoothly. i was using the cm10 for 3days and once i got the freezing and laggi and stuff i went back to ICS. so i didn't have a chance to play with it.

If you remove your battery or hard reboot, you have to repeat this procedure as the phone "forgets" this setting.

If the sbs videos are compatible they will display as side by side videos i.e two identiical frames. While the video is playing touch the screen press pause and press the 2D/3D on screen icon, press the menu button on the bootom of the phone and from the pop up select 3D formatter. touch the sbs icon on the bottom of the selector and all should then be O.K

Yep, this is definitely what I've been attempting to do.
The video appears side by side (for reference it is a LG Demo video) but alas, no 3D button...
Like none. No button.
Would this be a resolution thing?

So I finally got some time to screw around with this and nothing works.
I mean literally nothing. I'm starting to think I have to upload the Video to Youtube, then re-download it to get it to work on this phone, and that's a far stretch.
Can someone actually post screens on how this is done? I am starting to think that the 3D capability of this phone is just B.S. if you can't import files to it.
One other thing I'd like to mention, the programs to which the tutorials suggest aren't the same version or appear to have a different UI and/or presets missing from them.
