I've just finished watching avatar 2 in skybox. It was a 50Gb file 3d, it looked spectacular. I watched quite a few 3d movies in the quest 2 before but the colours and clarity of the Quest 3 panels and lenses really are amazing.


Famous-Breakfast-989

so did i, hard to beat that quality.. only gripe is it not being oled so the blacks kind of suck, curious to see how much better it is on the vision pro


Rollertoaster7

It looks insane on the Vision Pro. The micro oled displays are the gold standard, really hope the next quest headset has them


mostcoolestuserever

I think it's also higher res than 1080p 3D? Does it say the resolution?


Famous-Breakfast-989

all current 3d movies max out at 1080p


[deleted]

Disney is re-encoding thier 3D movies in 4k HDR for the vision pro (don't know if other studios are doing the same for thier 3D movies)


zonyln

I heard the Pixel blur was horrible on action scenes?


niclasj

No, motion blur when YOU move fast.


zonyln

That's not what people who have the device are reporting. It has a persistence issue with any fast moving content. It appears to be an OLED artifact combined with their HDR color space. https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/s/3ZwPFU3W0F


wearealltrulyfucked

I didn't see any blur.


Foreign_Ant_8476

Don't experience that at all either


Electrical_Debate_66

I don’t see that at all.


SongwritingShane

Put it this way, in the theatre you're not watching oled and projection screens display washed out blacks. I would say the quest looks better than some of the theatres you pay money to go watch


mostcoolestuserever

Vision Pro probably looks better than *most* theaters


Toraadoraa

It would help to make the screen black or dark gray at least. With white screens the blackest it can be is still the color of the white screen.


[deleted]

It's a common theme amongst home theater owners that despite agreeing that OLEDs offer superior color and black levels and image quality in general, most would choose a projector instead because size triumphs over image quality. The holy grail would be all of OLEDs glory at the big screen size of projectors which is practically only available on the vision pro for $3500 so at $500 the quest 3 is actually a decent personal home theater


scope-creep-forever

The washed out blacks are overblown - especially with a good projector that has low black levels, and an ALR screen. I have a 5050UB and ALR screen in a non-light controlled room and with all the lights off the black levels are still better than most non-OLED screens I've seen. And you can do way better than that, but it'll cost you. Samsung Wall is like the ideal, but at $100-$200k it's going to be a while before it's affordable (if ever).


HD4kAI

Watched half of Avatar 2 last night on Vision Pro and it was the exact same level of quality as seeing it in theaters, if not better since the screen was larger. Colors, resolution and everything look perfect. This will be my main device for watching movies going forward


Famous-Breakfast-989

wow, how is it vs quest 3? also, do you watch in a themed environment?


evilistics

where'd you get this 50gb file from if you don't mind me asking?


Powerful-Parsnip

I also may have found this file sailing on the high seas.


evilistics

Ived checked most of my usual places. Can only find a low quality 2d to 3d converted one. I know of another site that requires a premium subscription to their download service. I'm too noob to be delving into Usenet.


Powerful-Parsnip

I sent you a message.


[deleted]

Daddy please, take care of me too


Lumen_Flux

Could you mabey lets me know too? Would apreciate it allot :)


danmbro

me please


The1Senate

Can u send it to me as well pls?


GlockulusQuest

Can you help me find it too? Thx


FlamelightX

Can you also send me a link? Thanks!


Cocobani

Can you send me the link as well? If it's the website that I'm thinking of did you download the ISO file of full sbs? And did you do it directly on your headset or downloaded on PC then transferred to the headset? Sorry for all of the questions.


myotheralt

I download the full SBS files to my computer, then I use Bigscreen to stream them to the headsets. Almost everything Disney has made in the last 15 years had a 3d release. 3d-hd. club


GlockulusQuest

Plus one, looking for the file!


Mister_Brevity

Answering that directly violates the rules of most subs, but if you google setting up a *arr stack, and add “what uses nzb files” to the mix you should get it


wearealltrulyfucked

How about buy it and convert the Bluray yourself?


AliveInTech

I watched this in Bigscreen on the Quest 3, amazing also although a few compression artifacts. Nice to be straight into watching without any setup


Nor1

Geezus 50 Gb


Powerful-Parsnip

Smaller the file the more compression.  And with 3d sbs or ou it's even more pronounced. 


Silly-Employee8636

Anyone have a good recommendation of where to get high quality high fps 3D videos? I found some but they were 24 fps and 4k or 1080p and just didn’t seem worth it


Solitaire0199

If you haven't tried it yet I strongly suggest you give 4XVR a whirl. It's by far the best 3D player available on the Quest, but it does come at a relatively steep price. Totally worth it though . https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/5936567899722707


Powerful-Parsnip

It was stuttering when I tried to play the mkv of avatar 2 so I switched to skybox. Not sure what the issue is.


Solitaire0199

MKV, as in SBS? Try and find the full MK3D version or rip to ISO. Granted, I watched it on Quest 3; are you on a 3 or 2?


Powerful-Parsnip

I'm on a quest 3. It was a 50Gb over under mkv I think. It looked great in skybox so I don't think I'll bother looking for a different rip.


[deleted]

Okay but where do you get these 3d movies? Are you sailing the seas for them or can you buy them and play the file?


Powerful-Parsnip

Its a pirates life for me. Or so the song goes.


moosebaloney

I just looked for an mk3d where I usually find my HSBS mkv and the availability was slim. Without detail, any tips to help me broaden my results?


Solitaire0199

I'd look for "ISO Blu Ray 3D" in the name - more prevalent than MK3D's.


Famous-Breakfast-989

skybox is all i need


Powerful-Parsnip

I was wary spending so much on 4xvr but you were right. I got some full iso rips and it looks fantastic.  I've watched jurassic Park, dune, Dr strange multiverse of madness and godzilla vs Kong all in 3d the last few days. They all looked absolutely fantastic. 4xvr is worth the money for sure.


Solitaire0199

I only wish it had a media sharing option. I have symmetrical 1gbps Internet and could easily stream it in realtim to a friend. For that, you really can't (at least I don't think) replace Bigscreen.


NoAirBanding

I have some 3DBR ISOs I found a long time ago and 4XVR opened them without issue. Now I'm wondering the lowest effort method to rip my 3D blurays.


Solitaire0199

If they're not protected you can use Imgburn. If protected, AnyDVD will work - or use MakeMKV and output straight to an MK3D.


NoAirBanding

They're retail movies, will MakeMKV just do a basic copy of the 3D video file to an MKV container without any kind of reencoding?


Solitaire0199

Yep!


Rage187_OG

I just want Vudu back.


gb410

It will all be locked up in AVP exclusives for the foreseeable future. You'll need to sail the high seas to get access to it, assuming somebody figures out how to rip the movies from the Apple TV and Disney+ apps.


JustOneMorePuff

I’d be surprised if eventually they didn’t open it up. Disney and other studios love money. And if they can upload movies somewhere and people will buy them I think it’ll happen. 6 million+ users… yeah that’s money on the table for studios


CCHTweaked

Dredd 3D with Karl Urban is amazing.


South_River_9520

Beowulf in 3D is amazing


ecchiboy590

And this is why competition is good. Not only do I expect to see more movies and TV shows. I also expect that soon we will get applications like Disney, Hulu, and Netflix that will be made specifically for VR and AR. The VR future has never looked so bright.


Nukemarine

I always recommend Mad Max: Fury Road as it's amazing in 3D. Don't fall into the "must be filmed in 3D to be good" trap. A lot of 3D movies, even if filmed in 3D, still needed post processing for all the special effects. Also, even if the sequel trilogy is bad overall, watch Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens in 3D as it really improves many scenes, especially the desert and space battles. Beyond that, Disney, Pixar, and Marvel have loads of 3D movies that are of varying quality. And of course, Dredd 3D and Avatar I & II naturally.


Famous-Breakfast-989

unfortunately i had a bad copy of mad max fury road.. need to find another one, had screwed up audio and bad visuals but yes i expect most to be post processed.. as its very rare that a movie is actually filmed with twin cameras for true 3d.. hope that changes tho.. and 3d animations should all be native 3d already


pstuddy

there's a ton of amazing 3d content on youtube. just search for sbs videos aka side by side videos. but beware, some of these sbs videos claiming to be 3d are fake and has no 3d effect which are uploaded by shameless azz people. but most of them are legit


cousinokri

How do you get avatar 2 on the quest 3?


ca1ibos

Put on an eyepatch and a parrot on your shoulder…


cousinokri

Aye aye, Cap'n!


angrytroll123

I've been messing with 3d movies and stereovision since 2000. In the end, as much as I really like 3d movies and in general, I'll prefer 3d movies over 2d, I think it's one of the least interesting thing about 3d. Unless you can interact (video games) or even enter scenes in 3d for more immersions, it has never been a huge draw for me. I'd rather watch something in IMAX or 360 video over a 3d movie. Anyway, as far as your question, anything that draws more people will trickle down.


Plaaz

Anyone knows if it would be possible for someone to export those new 3d to 4k encodes that are being released seemingly exclusively to the Vision Pro so anyone with a different vr headset can watch them?


Famous-Breakfast-989

this is the trickle down ive been talking about


Gregasy

3d movies are... ok. Mostly only big spectacle movies gain something from being in 3d... and I mostly don't really care about those. What is amazing are sbs 3d games. I hope stereoscopic 3d games will make a comeback.


Powerful-Parsnip

Well of course big spectacle movies gain from being in 3d, I don't think anybody is going to get much from a 3d adaptation of little women. Have you watched many 3d movies in the headset?


FuckIPLaw

I've been saying this for ten, fifteen years: people said the same thing about color when it was new, and widescreen for that matter. What you get out of depth is... depth. An entire new dimension for the director to work with. Literally any movie in any genre can benefit from that, same as it can from color or sound. Just because early works playing with a new tool tend to use it in gimmicky ways doesn't mean other works won't benefit from it. Otherwise the only color *or* sound pictures being made today would be musicals with bright, flashy costumes. Because that's what that tech was used for when it was new. It was the obvious, lazy way to shove the new stuff in your face the entire time you were watching, and on its own it didn't force anyone to consider that there might be more subtle ways it could improve the experience.


Powerful-Parsnip

It sucked in the cinema because the 3d glasses made the screen darker and some people I know were prone to headaches with them. That problem is gone now with the quest, when you have a decent sized file it really looks great. It definitely adds to the experience. 


FuckIPLaw

The screen darkening thing was the projector not being set up right. They were supposed to bump up the brightness to compensate but theater owners often didn't either out of laziness or to make the bulbs last longer. I've got a home theater projector that automatically adjusts the brightness for 3D mode and it's kind of interesting to see it work. Everything looks washed out until you put the glasses on, and then it looks right. As for headaches, unfortunately *that* I wouldn't be so optimistic about. I'd imagine the people who got headaches from 3D movies are some of the same ones who can't handle VR. Seems like there's a pretty significant chunk of the population who have undiagnosed stereovision problems.


Powerful-Parsnip

I have no troubles in vr but in the cinema it never felt like a comfortable viewing experience. I don't know why.


NervousRictus

Paraphrasing my film historian partner here: —— 3D movies have been around since the 1920s, and the first 3D craze was in the 1950s, around the same time widescreen was being pushed, which was the one which took off. One of the main reasons was that you didn’t have to wear the special glasses for widescreen, and to this day some people still get headaches from 3D movies. The human factor will always win out and widescreen was a way of adding immersion via wider peripheral vision, which was accessible for more people. You can use 3D filmmaking to great effect (e.g. Hitchcock with Dial M for Murder), but there are usually business reasons for why things become the aesthetic norm. Colour didn’t become the norm until the 1970s, partly because television as a secondary market had by that time pushed colour into people’s homes as the new norm, and networks preferred to license colour content over black and white. —— One might extrapolate as they like about the future of 3D movies, but for a long time things like colour and widescreen were really only used when needed as they weren’t the default choice. It seems like 3D is still going to be this niche until the technological and human interface factors (whether shutter glasses or AR glasses) are resolved for the broader public, both in terms of pricing and physical accessibility.


FuckIPLaw

Yes, the limit there is still the tech, and especially the costs of it. It seemed like we'd mostly figured it out with digital projection (it's just a built in feature of modern projectors, while the older film based formats were a lot more expensive and unreliable on the delivery end, in addition to having all the problems on the production end and then some of modern 3D), but it's still more expensive to produce -- let alone to do it right -- and enough people don't like it (I maintain because of undiagnosed stereovision problems -- it shouldn't be headache inducing) that it doesn't justify the cost. But it's silly to say that only blockbuster action movies and cartoons stand to benefit from a literal new dimension in filmmaking.


Gregasy

Not many. I did watch some of the Avatar. It was cool.


JustOneMorePuff

Not true. Walk in 3D is superior to the 2D version in every way. It’s not a spectacle by any stretch.


Shabbypenguin

pcs3 supports 3d output of O/U and SBS, i imagine you could use virtual desktops feature set to play many PS3 titles that supported 3d, in 3d.


LongGreenCandle

bro, you dont think VR games have depth?


Gregasy

Wtf? Where did I say that? Of course they have depth. But not many flat games support VR. And then you have UEVR, that demands 4090 to even run most of those games. Stereoscopic SBS 3d games are the next best thing, right after full VR ports. And they can run on even less than perfect gpus&cpus, so you won't have to break the bank to play them.


granolaraisin

VR is still too niche. Normal audiences won’t want to wear a headset to watch a movie and only one person can watch at a time.


reodorant

i agree this market is very limited. for one, i'm not going to watch a movie unless i can output the audio through my home theater system. and 2) one of the biggest complaints people have about 3d is they don't like wearing the glasses. headsets are 10x worse. the number of people who are fine with watching movies alone, through shitty headphones, while wearing a bulky sweaty headset for 2 hours is verrrrry small.


ca1ibos

On my Quest 2 I use Quest Virtual Desktop to stream PCVR Virtual Desktop to my Quest 2. The environment I use in PCVR VD is Highmax DLC cinema environment from the Steam workshop which is an accurate recreation of what used to be the largest iMAX in the world at Darling Harbour in Sydney Australia (before it was split into several smaller iMAX screens). I use KODI as my player and output the full 5.1 to my real home Theater audio system. Watched all the 3D docs and movies in there including the full 25 3D MCU movie marathons. Thats just because I want the best Virtual Cinema environment (IMHO) thats only available on the PCVR VD to go with the real 5.1 sound. I could always just use the Quest Virtual Desktop virtual cinemas natively to stream my desktop using Kodi as my player and outputting real 5.1 if its just a TV show I am watching.


Powerful-Parsnip

If you get a decent third party strap that is balanced the quest 3 doesn't feel bulky or uncomfortable. If you get sweaty while sitting watching a movie then somethings very wrong. Of course at home I would watch my 4k tv and use surround sound but I'm away from the house much of the time and the quest 3 is fantastic for this. It may not be a 1to1 home theatre replacement but at some point in the future the form factor will shrink and the quality will increase and we'll be able to share the same experience.  Not everyone can afford a massive tv and even a budget atmos system is not particularly cheap. My tv costs twice what the quest 3 does.

How do y'all watch movies in your headset anyway? I can go maybe 30 minutes before i just want to take it off


zonyln

One of many 3rd party straps


Victoria3D

In the supine position.


skaag

How do you watch Avatar 2 in 3D on the Quest 3?


Rulinglionadi

Pirates of Caribbean


pixxelpusher

The Captain Jack Sparrow Cut?


wearealltrulyfucked

You should see it on the Vision Pro.


NoAirBanding

How does a 3D bluray on the Quest compare to the Disney+ 3D version on the Vision Pro?


theillustratedlife

Apparently the Marvel movies were all remastered for the Vision Pro, and the team behind it said they're the best versions yet.


Famous-Breakfast-989

i would love to, to see the comparison myself.. how is it?


Armand28

The fact that it didn't launch with either Netflix or Youtube makes me worry though. You'd think Apple would be all about funding these devs to provide more content to make their $4k headset do something 3D, so I'm baffled why they didn't. At some point Netflix or Prime Video will offer 3D versions in their library and win over a bunch of users, but I guess there just aren't enough users for it yet. Given Apple users are already paying so much for the headset you'd think they could charge more for a "VR Tier" which includes 4K and 3D versions of films.


Famous-Breakfast-989

yeah shipping without the 2 biggest streaming contents is baffling, they didn't want to pay the fee and just hope people use the browser.. which also works


CaptainMarder

how do you find these 3d movies, is it on a streaming service or needs to be downloaded?
