Let’s Start to Convert Video to 3D for PSVR

Step 1: Import video.

Insert your 3D/2D Blu-ray/DVD movie to disc drive, and click “Load from disc” button to load Blu-ray or DVD from ROM. For video file, click the “Add video” button, browse to computer hard drive and import video into this app.

Step 2: Select format and set profile.

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 PSVR. You also can choose to convert 2D/3D video to 3D MKV. These output 3D content can be used not only in PSVR but also in Gear VR, ANTVR, Oculus Rift CV1, HTC Vive, etc.

Tip: If necessary, you are allowed to adjust video and audio presets in Settings. Parameters like video codec, video bitrate, video frame rate, audio sample rate, audio channel, and more can be adjusted to achieve a better video/audio playback on PSVR. An important issue that you must consider that in PSVR, PlayStation VR can handle 1080p images on its 920 x 1080 display at either 90Hz (meaning that the image refreshes itself 90 times per second) or at 120Hz depending on the VR game or application.

Step 3: Convert BD/DVD/Video to SBS 3D MP4.

Click “Convert” button, video to SBS 3D MP4 conversion begins. When the process finishes, open the output folder to locate it.

You can transfer the 3D content to USB stick and inset it to PS4 USB port. Switch PSVR to movie mode to enjoy the 3D films at home.
