There was a time when the idea of being able to watch a movie on a VR headset in your living room was either a fantasy or something to laugh at. Well, that time is definitely behind us with the Samsung Gear VR. You can transport yourself to the perfect place to watch a movie. It’s a uniquely immersive experience that everyone should definitely give a shot for at least a few minutes.
The Samsung Gear VR, like Google Cardboard, uses your phone to project through a headset. What sets the two apart is Samsung’s partnership with Oculus and design to be worn for more than a few minutes. Watching movies and television through the Gear VR, while a little silly sounding at first, is a full blown immersive experience in the best way. Instead of just a screen, the app puts you in a full blown cabin with photos on the wall, a couch you are sitting on, and a coffee table in front of a massive screen.
The experience is surreal to Setup Gear VR For Movies Perfectly the least. It really felt like I was sitting in a cabin watching television — which got weird when I was sitting on a couch with a table in front of me in both the real world — with interactive parts all around me. The window to my left was constantly changing, and as the video played on the screen in front of me the “light” from the screen would play off of the magazine and cup on the table. The video quality for movies was good enough to feel like a decent screen at a distance, and thankfully I could adjust the focus by dialing back and forth on the headset. Being able to see my surroundings other than the video was also nice. With my headphones on, it felt like being in a personal theater, which is great if you’re looking for a distraction on long plane rides or something.

HOW TO: Convert Video to Setup Video Formats For Gear VR viewing Perfectly!
Step 1: Import source video.
Run this 3D Video Converter for Gear VR ( Mac version)on your computer. For disc-based concent,insert your movie to disc drive, and click “Load from disc” button to load movies from ROM. For video file, click the “Add video” button, browse to computer hard drive and import video into this app.Batch conversion feature allows you to import multiple source videos to converted to Gear VR.
Step 2: Select Side-by-Side 3D Video format for Gear VR
Tap on “Format” bar and find “3D Video”, there are a lot of format options for you. “MP4 Side-by-Side 3D Video (*.mp4)” is recommended for Samsung Gear VR. Or you can choose 3D SBS MKV for Gear VR playing with.
Tip: We recommend using 1280×720 HD resolution to encode your videos. Higher resolutions will not provide any better quality, meaning you’ll waste space and processing power.
We also recommend using a higher bit rate than a typical web stream at that resolution, as the pixels in your video will be magnified on the phone’s screen. The optimal bit rate is content dependent, and many videos can get by with less, but 5 Mb/s should give good quality.
While H.264 is the recommended video coding, H.265 videos can also be played.
3D movies should be encoded “full side-by-side” with a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio. Content mastered at 1920×1080 compressed side -by- side 3D should be resampled to 1920×540 resolution full side -by -side resolution.
You can click “Settings” near the “Format” to adjust the video resolution and bitrate to get more compatible format with Gear VR.
Step 3: Convert movies Content to SBS 3D MP4 for Gear VR
Click “Convert” button, video to SBS 3D MP4 or 3D SBS MKV conversion begins. When the process finishes, open the output folder to locate the 3D SBS video for Gear VR.
