I use the free and extremely fast and easy to use program VidCoder ( ) to quickly process the video and audio into the desired formats for each of my films (I go with MKV and AAC) and then I set them up the way they need to be for their best appearance in the Oculus Video theater. aac.Īlso, John Carmack has recommended 720p as the best format to avoid extra processing time, which I use for SBS (side by side) 3D but for OU or TB (Over/Under Top/Bottom) I leave the video files at 1080p, because each half of the image is already at no more than 540 pixels high. I've only had my Gear VR to go with my Note 5 phone for about 14 hours now, but I have had enough time to find out what it takes to have a great time with the 3D movies I've been collecting for years.įirst, make sure your movies are in one of the supported formats per Oculus's instructions at which are.
