Thanks for the update, James! Great to hear and excited to see what you guys come up with. Can you share any insight as to how Infuse might handle 3D video on the Vision Pro? It’s my understanding that the Vision Pro requires 3D video to be encoded as MV-HEVC, but almost all existing 3D content is in either frame-packed MVC (such as Blu-ray 3D discs) or side-by-side/over-under x264. Will Infuse be able to play either of these formats? Or will we have to find a way to first convert our 3D content to MV-HEVC?

That’s not something we’ve dug into yet, but chances are these would need to be converted to an Apple Vision friendly 3D format prior to playing them in Infuse if you want to retain the 3D content.

Will it support 3d content?
If so, how? I mean will imposture from the surface of the virtual screen?
iPhone 15 Pro allows you to shoot spatial videos which would be able to be played in 3D on Apple Vision Pro, but it’s not clear at this time if there will be a way for other 3D formats to be supported.
Apple not allowing other formats that have been around for years would be absurd… and so on brand 
I found this video where this guy teaches how to edit spatial video using DaVinci Resolve.
Maybe getting both L+R decoded from a Blu-ray this will allow to-re-encode as spatial video.
I wrote a small tool for Apple Silicon Macs to create Vision Pro-compatible MV-HEVC files: GitHub - sturmen/SpatialMediaKit: Split a MV-HEVC file into separate left and right ProRes files.

I think the real value is for 3D video content to be able to play natively inside the glasses. I have no plan to buy the Vision Pro (not until it comes down to about half it’s current price).
There’s no reason that sbs or top bottom won’t play in AVP it supports all the same decoding standards as Apple TV/iPad and iOS and infuse can already play them all (except MV-HEVC) I assume the infuse iPad app will just play them on a floating screen until we get the native app
Looks like an Apple called moon spatial player has been approved for AVP and plays SBS. So we know it’s possible https://youtu.be/og-yEd4B-3g?si=FIgYT30CNOH6Xpyb
Infuse looking really great so far. That said, will Infuse support 3D or is Apple 3D guidelines too restrictive? Also, will theater modes be supported? Thanks for providing us the best video player for years!

3D movies appear to play as 2D.
Is there a setting I’m missing, or are there plans to add 3D support for Vision Pro?
I moved your post to a currently running thread discussing this topic.

No setting missing. AVP Infuse isn’t capable. Keep hoping.

I do not believe this is true. At the moment I am using the Moon Player app on my Vision Pro to play 3D movies and it seems to support all common formats. Hoping that eventually inFuse will be the same as it has a much nicer UI.
Moon player is not support iso format
Thanks for the feedback. Is there a perceivable difference in quality using different kinds of 3D formats?
True - but I do not see this as a major issue as it is easy to extract the video files from an iso.
I do not have an comprehensive list of samples to give an educated answer. My projector which I used previously for 3D was limited to 1080p 3D formats and either Side-By-Side or Over-Under. The commonest format I have as a result is 1080p SBS. Obviously if you can get a 4K encoded one (that Moon Player handles) then it gives better results than a 1080p version.
Not sure if you can easily get files in the Apple spatial video format which I would expect to give the best results. Now that I have the Vision Pro I will probably look to try a wider variety of formats to try out.

Here’s an excellent app that allows you to convert your 3D Blu-rays to MV-HEVC

Have you had a chance to try it out? If so what do you think in regards to overall quality?
