Steps to convert 3D MKV/FLV/YouTube/Blu-ray to ANT VR Kit

Step 1: Add 3D video source

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. 

Note: Batch conversion feature allows you to add many 3D source video to convert to ANTVR Kit.



Step 2: Select 3D format for ANTVR Kit

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 ANTVR Kit.



Tip: To get better 3D enjoyment on ANTVR Kit, you are suggested to use 1280×720 HD resolution to encode your videos. Just change the video size in “Settings” to 1280×720.  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.

Step 3: Start to convert 3D videos to ANTVR Kit

Click “Convert” button, 3D MKV/FLV/YouTube/Blu-ray video to SBS 3D MP4  for ANTVR Kit conversion begins. When the process finishes, open the output folder to locate the generated 3D SBS MP4 video for ANTVR Kit then transfer the video to Lenovo K4 Note.

How to View 3D movies on ANT VR via Lenovo K4 Note?

To view 3D movies on ANTVR Kit, you need an extra thing – an app to play 3D movies for the VR headset. The reason you need a special app to play a 3D movie because when you play any sort of video that’s meant for ANT VR, it’s split into two windows like this:



We say you might need the app because the movie may not be split into two windows. The one we tried this out with was already split into two windows. In the event that your movie isn’t, here is a free app for Android, to split the view.

For Android (Lenovo K4 Note) users, there’s AAA VR Cinema. The app is excellent if your headset has no action buttons of any sort. It can split a video into two windows and you can navigate the app with head gestures. Adding a file to it easy; just copy it to your device



If you’ve got a movie that’s already split into two windows, just play it using VLC player.

All that’s left, now that you’ve got the movie and the app to play it, is to insert it into your headset and enjoy. Granted, this isn’t a family experience. It’s just you sitting alone with the headset strapped to your head watching a movie but it does the trick for individual needs well enough.

There are many top VR headsets in the market, like Oculus Rift, Sony Project Morpheus. To help you learn the difference among the three 3D glasses, below is a chart comparing the ANTVR kit with Oculus Rift and Project Morpheus.
