3D side by side files will play with any and all media players,
We are are talking about “frame packed” full HD 3D here, same as what’s on Blu-ray Disc. 2 completely different things.
We are looking for playback support of the mkv containing the MVC in its original format that is created with this process. https://firecore.com/sites/default/files/upload/screen_shot_2016-10-23_at_2.03.55_pm.png
Eliminating the need to creat a side by side file.and playing back the file in its original resolution.
The side by side file created with dvdfab reduces the resolution by half.
Make mkv cannot creat a side by side file, it does no encoding at all.it rips and repackages the files to mkv. Dvdfab re encodes to a side by side file. Side by side 3D looks like absolute crap on a 110" screen
First, I’ve never been able to get the subs to work from the rip.
Second, I only use makemkv. I don’t actually know of anything else that is compatible on my Mac.
Third, I just chose something quick to rip as a example. If I’m not mistaken, this attached is what is referred to as frame packed.
To clarify
Frame packed 3D is 2 separate video feeds"stereo" if you will. You have one 1080p image for the left eye (avc) and a second 1080p image for the right eye(mvc). Your tv alternates the 2 images to give you 3D. (Full1080p for each eye)
Side by side takes the 2 1080p images and squashes them into one 1080p image with the 2 images shown side by side in one 1080p frame.
Your tv then expands the entire image and alternates each side to give you 3D. With this you only get a 540p image to each eye.
Top and bottom( which is what you pictured) is the same as side by side but the images are top and bottom.still 540p to each eye
I am looking for the possible support James mentioned 3 years ago - probably the decoding of the MVC part of the .mkv into 2 separate streams, one for each eye.
But I think that James can better tell us what he had in mind.
So if I understand correctly, I would have to buy DVDFab and convert my .mkv‘s (with MVC inside) to 4k-3D files in order for Infuse being able to stream it via Apple TV to my 4k 3D TV?
It’s also possible that 3D MVC isn’t supported on the Mac with the ripper program. Handbrake said they wouldn’t add support as there wasn’t an open source Library that can read MVC.
Output vivid 3D video
Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac can rip 3D Blu-ray to 3D SBS MP4, 3D SBS MKV, 3D SBS AVI, 3D SBS WMV, 3D SBS MOV for Gear VR, Oculus Rift DK2/CV1, HTC Vive, 3D LG TV, etc
Do you know if one of those is working with Infuse + Apple TV?
I use 3D SBS MKV files played via inFuse in conjunction with my 3D capable projector and they work fine. I would expect them to also work with a TV if it supports 3D SBS format but as I do not have such a TV I cannot confirm that.
“The current profile doesn’t support 3D MVC MKV files”
I can try any other setting/profile, always the same… any hint?
I believe it only works with ISOs or physical discs which is very annoying as I had all of my 3D as 3D MKVs.
I’ve almost finished re-encoding them… 12 hours each (4K, SBS, H265) and some I have to do in Windows as the Mac version sometimes fails.
