Thank you for this information VrManCave. Will the 3D effects on the Quest pop out at you like the 3D movies at the theaters? And does the Oculus Quest play 3D video games as well?
@@RAMIRO0 you’re super welcome mate, I’m really glad to hear you’ve enjoyed it. The 3D effects in movies on the Quest pop out a lot more than you’d see in theaters since the screen is way closer to your eyes. As for 3D video games, I’m not sure what you mean, since all games are 3D, could you please explain or give me an example? Cheers!
@@VRManCave by 3D video games i mean games were random effects will pop out at you and feel like they are about to hit you in the face just like in 3D movies
@@RAMIRO0 to be honest I’ve never heard of such games, I mean in all games things feel like they are about to hit you in the face when it comes to VR, since you feel like you are part of that world. Do you have an example of a 3D game like you’re describing?
@@VRManCave Thanks for such a helpful video! Do you know how we can do this from a mac? Is there a dlna server for the Mac and would oculus be able to stream from it? Do we need a physical cable linking computer and oculus for streaming a movie off plex without video stuttering? Does bandwidth matter if playing off of your own computer on the home wifi network? Thanks in advance, newbie here :)
just got a quest 2 and didn't really know what to expect. your videos helped med get started and separate the trash from the gold. Thanks a lot and keep up the good job!
Wow that's amazing Gustav, congrats on your new Quest 2. I'm really happy to hear my videos helped and if you have any questions regarding your new VR headset, I'm always happy to help so feel free to ask!
This is exactly the info I needed. I have crap load of 3D Blu-Ray movies in ISO. Thank you so much for this. I'm going to get a Quest 2 and SUBBED!
Thanks so much for watching man, I'm really glad it helped!
Hey, where do you find those 3D bluray please? I find it incredibly hard to download :(
I have always loved 3D movies too. I have a 3D TV and years ago had a 35mm 3D camera. I was excited when I learned my collection of about 100 blue ray 3D movies could be downloaded and viewed in my 256g Quest2.. So excited in fact I purchased an 8 tb hard drive in anticipation of downloading my entire collection. I have been trying unsuccessfully to download my movies since early December. TH-cam info on this process is limited and somewhat dated. My initial research of this process lead me on a mission to purchase a 3D blue ray player/writer and DVDFAB software. So that I could load the 3D files into the computer on to the external hard drive, then to my Quest2 headset. So far properly setting up the DVDFAB has been a challenge. Hopefully one day I will view my collection of movies in my Quest2. Thanks for the video. You really simplified the process.
Wow Connie that is amazing! Have wanted to get a 3D camera for ages but never managed to actually buy one. Thank you so much for the detailed comment, it’s surely going to be very useful for other viewers, so I appreciate you taking the time to write it! If you’re having issues with DVDFAB, then I found a great tutorial on Reddit using only free open source software: www.reddit.com/r/Vive/comments/8ukixf/rip_play_3d_bluray_movies_any_hmd_in_vr_for_free/?
@@VRManCave thanks for your assistance it’s appreciated
@@connieefurulee You're extremely welcome, thank you for watching my videos! 😄
I love 3D movies as well, I would like to be your friend so that you could lend me some 3D movies hehe.
I’m honestly just trying to figure out how to watch movies and see the junk food I’m eating at the same time. 😭
Haha i feel you, i sometimes lift the Quest up a bit and look around the nose 😁🦦
Just set yourself up right on the edge of your grid so whenever you lean in to take the bite u can see ur food too 😂😊
The have a double tap feature in settings. Let's u double tap the side of the quest and it'll let u see outside ur vr in grey
Eating doesn’t work too well, since the movement of the jaw and facial muscles tends to shift the position of the headset out of its sweet spot.
Use a head strap like Bobovr m2 pro and then it sits on your forehead more and you can completely remove the facial interface and it is so much more comfortable as well as more balanced with the magnetic battery pack on the back. Very nice to watch movies, apps like immersed and some games like demeo with no pressure on your face and better battery life. Also Dlna from Plex works well but you may need to change the Plex profile xml for Generic to change audiocodecs and to 2 channel
Finally! Never managed to get a decent 3D TV over all these years. I have a stash of over 50 on an external drive, just sitting there. Now I can watch them. Thanks.
Hahaha that’s awesome man, you’re very welcome, enjoy! 😄
Im trying to figure out how I can even get a 3d movie
@@Trainsallday Well, the only legal way of doing it is to convert it from an existing dvd or bluray that you own the physical disk for. Otherwise you’ll just need to search Google, I’m sure you’ll come up with some results, but I’m not really allowed to share any of those sources with you here :)
..ha same here.
skybox is a good option too,but I think maybe using a cable to link quest2 with pc using bigscreen might be much clearer，however dlna is not as convenient as smb,which one do you think is clearer?
Dude thank you for the video it helped me very much that was awesome
The smile tho! Nice guide mate, keep it up!
Thanks so much mate, really glad you liked the video, and my shiny smile 😂. Cheers! ✌🏻
On the other hand - It is possible to watch your 3d blu rays on your vr [Oculus quest 2] headset from your blu ray player, and do so in real time without a 3d tv. All you really need is a budget hdmi splitter box which strips the HDCP protection signal from the hdmi signal before sending it to a bog standard hdmi to usb converter dongle. The key step is to set this in the software [vlc] to convert the hdmi at 1080p at 24 fps, eg 1920 x 1080 - this makes dongle appear to be a 3dtv. You then view the converted Topbottom signal on your desktop in vLc. Once you have this in fullscreen mode, use the virtual desktop to convert the TOPBottom into 3d. There is no need to rip, or poorly covert, or store the 20gb - 40 gb files on you VR headset. Just buy your 3d blu ray disc and watch real time in vr at 1080p. Who knows with more people buying 3d blu rays we might turn that industry around.
That's 3d disc >> 3d player >> hdmi splitter >> hdmi to usb dongle >> to pc software vlc set to convert at 1080p 24fps >> to VR software Virtual desktop, [or Big Screen if you have win 10 to run that] >> VR 3d.
You can also hack the properties settings in a copy of the Vlc icon so it loads with the 1080p defaults already set for your hdmi / usb dongle. This way its just click and go. see below. Just replace the "USB Video" with your own dongle name, and the same for the (usb Digital Audio)" so it points to the audio for that capture device.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" dshow:// :dshow-vdev="USB Video" :dshow-adev="Digital Audio Interface (USB Digital Audio)" :dshow-aspect-ratio="16:9" :dshow-size=1920x1080 : :live-caching=300 :dshow-fps=24
Wow thanks for that detailed guide Chris! I don't personally own a bluray player anymore so I can't test it, but I do have an Xbox One X that has bluray, so it might work on that too, and I just bought an HDCP splitter so I'm definitely trying that!
Waw, if this works I'm going for it !
About 20 years ago I ripped/downloaded dvd's and I remember how time consuming it was, especially finding the right .srt's.
Also : my blu ray player is connected to my surround system....
On the other side : I'm totally new to VR headsets, so I will browse some more on your channel.
I also wanted to know if there is a difference in quality when you watch the movie copied to the quest or on remote desktop...
@@manuquickie in terms of quality its better than a ripped disc, that's for sure. WYSIWYG. The width remains at 1920, the same as the disc. The height is halved to allow for top and bottom fitting 1080. This is in part due to the limit of the capture card and VLC software. If enough people approach VLC i'm sure they could improve this aspect of the software.
Oh Virtual desktop has quality settings based on the bandwidth of the connection. My wifi was fast enough not to further impact the quality of the image reaching the occulus.
@@chrisliddiard725 thanks a lot Chris. I found a HDMI switch with
HDCP 2.2 support.
But I have a HDMI connector on my laptop. Do I need a usb adapter to make vlc work ?
@@manuquickie on most laptops the HDMI is for output to an equvalent monitor. NO, the way you get the signal into your laptop is via the capture card, HDMI to Usb. once you have that incoming signal open VLC, go to the Media tab and select Open capture device. try working with the defaults to see if you have an incoming image, then adjust the paramaters as i've suggested to get the quality where it needs to be for all this to work.
Thanks man, great video!
I’ve been on a quest since watching my first 3D movie of bigscreen on how to watch more 3D movies thanks for the video. You the first I know to make a video on this content 😉 are there any special features that you need on your computer to do this. Great work thanks fo all your content
Hey Robert! I’m really really happy to hear that mate, thank you so much for watching! You do not need any special features on your computer, works on any old laptop, the specs don’t even matter as you just need it to run the Plex server and it doesn’t do much in terms of processing. Let me know if you have any other questions, I’m always happy to help! ✌🏻
Earned yourself a sub 👍
I just recently built an Asustor NAS and finally figured out how to encode 3D mp4's for it after ripping tons of old movies I've had laying around collecting dust and putting them on my Plex server.
Have you or anybody else had any experience streaming from a DLNA server to 2 separate headsets or synchronizing local play between them?
I've been slowly getting my gf interested in VR but I've never watched anything with her on Big Screen before. She already thinks it's pretty cool with everything I've done with the Plex server so far and I want to blow her away with watching our own 3D movies on a giant virtual screen together 😁
Thanks for sharing ! So have to be with pc to work ? Or just app to download on oculus app and start watching ?
Thank You!!
Finally got it to work. All I can say. its damn awesome. and this is coming from a person who owns the last oled 4k/3d tv and PSVR. Quest 2 resolution is very impressive and the 3D is top notch
Glad you got it to work and were so impressed mate. I've never personally owned a 3D TV, but I have tried some at various friends' houses and I fully agree, the Quest is top notch for 3D movies!
How it work with 3D movies like a Tv?
@@VRManCave Hi there and only just learned about this. I have a later 4k -3d LG passive Tv and dozens of 3d movies too. Which program would you recommend to rip the 3d blurays to store onto your hard drive and would it be in ISO format ? Thanks for any reply on this 👍
@@Timborob DVDFab BluRay-Ripper. It works great with 3D Movies. You can select some formats like 3D MP4 or MKV.
Yo great video! Waiting on my Quest 2 to get delivered and I can't wait for it!
On an unrelated note, how did you customize your PC desktop like that? It looks really dope!
Thanks so much Brian! That's great to hear, when are you supposed to get your Quest? Regarding my desktop, I've just hidden all the icons and the dock on the side is called Nexus Dock, it's completely free and super customizable 😄
@@VRManCave oh sweet. I've heard of Nexus Dock, just never used it. I'll have to check it out.
For my Oculus, it was estimated for Thursday, but will probably be delivered Wednesday (tomorrow as of writing this).
@@Sunsetdriver85 Yeah Nexus is awesome and really low resource consumption from it too. I’ve just started using it in the past few months cause I got tired of always seeing my desktop full of useless stuff and was looking for a clean solution 😄 And that’s awesome about your Quest man, let me know if you have any questions after you get it. I’m no expert but I’m always happy to help! ✌🏻
Thank you a lot for this
You’re extremely welcome Aiden! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻
I got one today,wasn't expecting much but it was amazing
Glad to hear it was amazing Mark! 😃
What did you watch, I'm always looking for recommendations 😆
@@VRManCave I loved free solo, absolutely terrifying if you don't like heights,watched the documentary a while back but in vr it was insane,also love the Tokyo nightlife vids
@@smashygodzilla3213 yeaaaah I’ve seen those, absolutely awesome! I’m super happy to hear you’re enjoying VR buddy!
The Oculus 2 is amazing and there's something I'm curious about do they have a way for you to watch movie VR in 360 3D simulator form I'm not talking about movie theater screens I'm talking about all around you like you're immersed in the movie type deal just curious
Keep up the great work
Thanks so much Nathon, it means a lot, will do!
im a movie fanatic and watching mission impossible fallout and the titanic in 3D was a top tier movie experience!!
Thanks for the video. Are you able to watch movies that you upload to your headset with friends in the same theater/room together? Or can you only do that with content provided by Bigscreen?
You're super welcome, thanks so much for watching! You will only be able to watch movies with friends if they have it stored on their headset too, so the option I would recommend would be to use Plex, since via streaming you can watch with friends so that you're not only stuck with what Bigscreen offers. Cheers!
@@VRManCave Have you actually done this? I couldn’t get it to work.
@@paradise2012 yeah I have. What seems to be the issue for you?
Great video! Thanks buddy
Appreciate that bud, thanks so much for watching! 😄
Nice. Easy to watch. Thanks!
Thanks so much for watching mate, I really appreciate the kind words! 😀
Great Job as always mate! 😉 👍
Thanks so much for watching buddy, I’m happy to hear that! Cheers, have a great day! ✌🏻
Thanks for the vid, do i need an app to show the 3D on OculusQ2? i can see the films etc in the Bigscreen but cant see it as 3D just blurred.
You’re welcome mate! You don’t need any other app besides Bigscreen, just make sure to change the 3D Mode in the Bigscreen player like I show in the video.
Here new owner of quest 2; after so many videos, updates, games coming out and so on i think this was the way to go. Not that expensive with nice content and if you want you vsn use your PC for more demanding games.
Yeah I agree, it's one of the best bang for buck devices I've ever bought and the fact that it can be used both stand-alone and wired/wireless for PCVR is just insane.
thx guy for info
Thank YOU for watching! 😄
great video! Subbed

Are there some addition steps when using a rift S, i ripped Dred 3d with MKV clicked the video player in bigscreen selected the longest file, but every 3d option is just a distorted mess of image
The process should be the exact same for Rift too, it might just be that the specific file you've ripped is a weird 3D format that's not supported by Bigscreen, although 90% are supported. Maybe try a different one to see if it's the same.
First of all thank you for the video. Nice job! Now let's talk about 3d ! I have a samsung odyssey wmr headset and I was thinking to buy an oculus quest 2 for watching movies without the need to have the pc on!So after watching your video i have some questions! Can you attach a usb device to the headset and read the file from there? Lying down and having the usb attached isn't a big problem! Virtual desktop have an option to play videos but I am not sure if you can do this locally from the headset, have you tried it? And finally oqulus quest 2 can't open files from a USB attached to your wifi router and then play them with big screen or virtual desktop? By the way , the best way to watch a 3d movie with a vr headset connected to your pc is playing the 3d iso file and converted in real time to half sbs with stereoscopic player and then use virtual desktop on your pc with 3d sbs option on of course! Thank you!
Thanks for watching Gus, appreciate your support! Regarding your questions, the Quest can't (at least yet) read files directly from a USB device connected to it. Bigscreen supports network file sharing, but you have to set it as DLNA for it to work. For Virtual Desktop, the idea of it is to control and view your PC in VR, so you wouldn't actually need to have anything stored on the headset itself, because it acts like a screen essentially, with head motion and the works of course, but still essentially a screen. It doesn't process or store anything locally, everything is streamed from your PC to your Quest through Virtual Desktop over Wi-Fi.
@@VRManCave Thank you for the information and the quick reply!
@@MrBLADE71 you’re super welcome buddy, thanks for watching! ✌🏻
NGL but this 3D feels a million times better than glasses 3D, like you can see the depth without darkening the movie or having 2 weird colors mess with the colors on the film. I haven’t rented a movie yet, but watching ghost in the shell’s trailer on the lowest settings looks amazing (saving internet which is the reason I didn’t watch it in full hd) hope in the future we will be able to buy movies for offline use
I knooow, it's crazy how much better it is even compared to premium experiences like IMAX. Regarding movies, if you google it, you'll find tons of places to download movies without having to pay for them, just be careful to only get them from trustworthy websites.
skybox will play 3d movies fine and I tend to run them from an old phone using the DLNA server app which works very well. My only problem is getting the the old sony TD10 camcorder videos to play. so far cant convert to MKV 3d using software, which if any of the prgrams can handle the sony camcorder video?
I have a full home Dolby Atmos home theater system, that combined with Big Screen, literally feels like I'm at a movie theater, game changing.
Oh wow that must be amazing, good for you man! ♥
How did you get connect the reciever to the quest. I have Atmos aswell, wanna try it :-)
dont know which bigscreen you are using but i have spent hours trying to find an options panel like that bigscreen for me latest version feb 2024 only allows remote veiw of desktop and will only run in split screen sbs
My Quest is not popping up in tha file explorer and transferring via sidequest dont work either i cant play them from the computer via a cable or something to the quest?
Where can I get the 3D movies to save/load up? (In UK)
can you recommend sourses and sites where I can download movies in 3d pls?
Of course XI. century is the time when every technical stuff gets broken. Installed Plex on PC, enabled DLNA server (as it was disabled by default), installed Bigscreen on Quest 2, and the latter can't find the former. Why would? It's just on the same network, but Windows and Quest software are involved. When did these work correctly?
Awesome video and a nice shiny smile 😁. 1:29 Keep up the good videos and your smile :)
Thanks so much man, appreciate it! And yeah the idea for that shiny smile came to me while I was editing the video hahaha, glad you liked it 😄
Hi, what kind of Taskbar do you use in your Desktop? Looks great!
Hey Roger! It's called Winstep Nexus, it's completely free and super customizable, I love it! 😄
@@VRManCave Thanks, Will check it out!
be cool if you can do it in public room, like if the other person has the file too. I hear you can stream your desktop in public room and play a movie on a windows player, but I'm interested to know what the quality would be like for public viewers of the stream.
What cord do you need to load offline 3D videos on your oculus is it a phone cord or do you use the oculus link cable ?
Well, any USB C cable which is able to send both data and power should work!
Hey buddy, I just started collecting 3D movies.. what program do you use to rip the DVD’s?
So far I got Avatar, Jurassic World, Tron, and How to Train your Dragon😎
Hey mate! That’s awesome, a great start to your collection! I used the open source software from this tutorial www.reddit.com/r/Vive/comments/8ukixf/rip_play_3d_bluray_movies_any_hmd_in_vr_for_free/?

Can i just rent a 3d from streaming and play it through their app or bigscreen?
I want to figure out how to run Kodi on the quest 2 and stream 3D movies from it. I was able to do it on a PC with the rift s but have not been able to figure out how to get it to work with kodi pre-installed on Quest 2 sideloading it.
Hey David! If you have Sidequest all set up it should be as simple as finding the Kodi .apk somewhere online and sideloading it onto your Quest. I haven’t tried this myself but I found this tutorial for you if you want to check it out: th-cam.com/video/Ikp5UhzoYC0/w-d-xo.html
can I use ps4 for plex and insert 3d disc into that and upload it to quest?
did you rip a bluray for this? or can you buy these 3d mkv files somewhere? Can I also just put a 3D Bluray in my Disc-Drive without ripping it but still being able to watch it in VR?
Yeah I did, but you can also "find" these 3D mkv files online, if ya get my drift 😄
@@VRManCave Yeah, i'm kinda cautious with "finding" stuff online XD Don't know what I'm infecting myself with while "finding" stuff. Just found out about a method using MakeMKV and some other software for ripping 3D blurays: th-cam.com/video/hYnGhhVJ7TA/w-d-xo.html
Do you happen to know if it would be possible to somehow just play the 3D bluray without ripping it? I don't have a VR headset yet (Ordered the Reverb G2, comes next week) so I can't try.
@@karla.b yeah I feel ya and I agree, but it’s still an option for most people. I believe you can indeed play without ripping as well, through Bigscreen.
@@VRManCave Thanks man. I'll probably try that. I just don't want useless 30 gb files on my drive XD
@@karla.b yeah of course, fair enough 😄
Question, I ripped the man of steel (Superman) but when I’m encoding it shows that is finished but only half of the movie is done, the other half is just green, what do you think is the problem?
Hmm, that's weird... I assume you have enough space on your PC to finalize the encoding, right? You might want to try another encoding software for ripping it if the one you're using's not working properly.
My problem with Bigscreen is that it does not support ".srt" subtitle files for movies. I suffer from tinnitus and often need subtitles.
To have subtitles from the ".srt" file showing in my movies, I play my 3D movies on my PC with PotPlayer in side by side mode. From the "3D" Menu I choose "Stereo 3D Subtitle Mode", "Enable : SBS (Side by Side)", or "Enable : TAB (Top and Bottom)" as appropriate. Then use Virtual Desktop to send them to my Quest 2.
Hey there! Yes external .srt files are not supported yet on Bigscreen, but you can embed the subtitles in the movie file with a tool like MKVToolNix or something similar, which will basically include the subtitles into the same file the movie is in, making them visible within Bigscreen. Hope that helps, cheers!
Noice
ripping takes too long. Have you tried watching directly from disc? I DL the BigScreen beta app and it didnt recognize any of the folders on the 3D disc. Hope you can help me out on this.
I haven't watched directly from disk since I don't have a bluray player anymore besides the one in my Xbox. Ripping doesn't necessarily take long and I like having everything in digital format too.
Hey, I was just wondering where you can download 3d movies on pc? I can't seem to find any reliable websites or apps.
Hi there! Unfortunately I can't share any specific websites here as TH-cam would ban me most likely, but if you search on Reddit you'll find lots of trustworthy sources for 3D movies. Cheers!
A complete newbie question, do i need to buy some glasses for this, i clicked 3d on quest 2 via plex in quest 2 browser and it split the screen but i clearly need glasses, stupid question but i assume small glasses are needed.
You don’t need any additional glasses, but it won’t turn any movie into a 3D one. The movie needs to have been made for 3D and you’ll need to find the right type of 3D for your movie, like SBS and other types. I do recommend Bigscreen for this rather than the browser.
@@VRManCave ok, I have big screen available (having just installed it), the films I have such as piranha 3d for example, when I select SBS or any of the others it isn’t right, is there a specific file type I look for.
For me, bigscreen doesnt know what to do with the mkv file. It shows a side by side thumbnail for you. For me just a standard file thumbnail. That tells me it doesn't have a file type association like yours does. Any suggestions?
Mkv should be fine. Have you tried playing around with the various 3D modes within Bigscreen? Does the file play normally on your PC?
need help please, I found a 3D movie chanel, all is SBS, vert split, what VR glasses should I get? thanks
Well, the Quest 2 is your best bang for buck option. If your budget is a bit lower you could even get by with a Quest 1.
@@VRManCave that you for your fast response, I looked up Q1, I still need a smart phone, can't afford that, is there a way to watch the screen directly without a smartphone? would red/blue glasses work? thanks again
Thx
You're welcome! ✌️
thanks
you're...welcome? :))
Hi, thanks for the video, but i have some problems trying to see a 3d movie in MKV format with bigscreen, it says everytime "there was a problem loading the video". I tried to store it on the quest but nothing, on plex neither, but on pc an mac it plays well, what can be wrong with this movie? other videos i have load fine
Thank you again for your support ;)
Hi Edoardo! Video files require something called codecs to play properly, and while on standard video players on Mac and PC you would pretty much have all the codecs installed and no issues playing the movies, you can sometimes encounter such issues as yours when trying to play those files on other devices/software. Most likely the file you're trying to use has been encoded using an uncommon format that is not supported by Bigscreen. I'd say 99% of movies will have no issues, so I'd suggest either redownloading the movie from a different source if that's how you've obtained it initially, or re-rip the movie if you created the MKV yourself from a Bluray you own. Hope that helps!
Hi! What software did you use to burn or copy the file of 3D movie disc?
Hey there! I've used the software in this tutorial here: www.reddit.com/r/Vive/comments/8ukixf/rip_play_3d_bluray_movies_any_hmd_in_vr_for_free/?

Does Disney plus support 3d through quest browser
Is it possible to have to screen not moving like in a real cinema. Other than keeping your head perfectly still.
If you use Bigscreen it’s exactly like a cinema and the screen won’t move with your head 😄
@@VRManCave Nice! You've convinced me. This month 22nd is my bday. l'll give myself a Meta Quest as a present.
I still don't know why there isn't an option to connect my 3D blu-ray player to a VR headset with HDMI and basically use the headset as a 3D TV. It's crazy that I'm expected to rip every disc.
I think just because blu-ray players came out when VR headsets weren't really a thing, but yeah it would be awesome if new ones took that into consideration.
It needs to transafer files into its "SD or whatever" ? it can't just stream it from pc? doesn't it have an HDMI connection ?
Well, I've explained both options in the video. If you're at home then yes, you can stream from your PC, but if you want to watch a 3D movie on an airplane, then you'll need to save it locally in the Quest's memory. And no, it doesn't have an HDMI connection.
I don't know how VR really works fully but is it a way to watch in Fullscreen?Like just the movie screen
Hi Meacha! Yes there are various ways to view the movies, including one where everything else around you is pitch black and you can only see the huge screen!
Can u also use the virtual dekstop thing?
Yes you can!
Hey, from where do i download movies like avatar in 3d? is it paid or do you have some website to download it from
Hey there! The legal way to do it would be to rip original bluray disks. There is no official way to buy digital movies other than directly in Bigscreen, but if you just google the movie’s name + download you should find a place to get it for free, just make sure the website is trustworthy.
Is it more likely to be laggy/lower resolution through DLNA/Plex? Have you noticed any issues? I’ve tried streaming through virtual desktop and if I choose 1080p, it’s way too laggy so I end up having to lower res to 480 or 720, which is fine for 2D movies but for 3D I’d like to stream as high quality as possible. Gonna try it both ways today. Thanks in advance
Yeah DLNA should definitely work way better, the reason being you stream only the video file itself, whereas Virtual Desktop streams your whole PC basically. If you have time, I’d love to hear your experience after testing both. With networking related tasks, especially over wireless, everyone’s experience may differ because there are so many variables.
@@VRManCave I tried just saving it to my device first and it looks amazing! It looks like you can’t go public with videos saved to your oculus, which is fine because id mostly want to watch with friends. However, do you know if you can go public using DLNA? I assume not.
If you cannot go public, I’ll probably just keep 10 gigs or so memory freed so I can swap out a 3D movie as needed.
Thanks for the quick response! Just subbed to ya
@@Michael-lt3zb hmm, as far as I know the only way to watch with friends is if all of them have the exact same file, and that way when you hit play, it’ll play for all of you. Otherwise just rent one from Bigscreen and that will work too.
@@VRManCave looks like if you’re sharing screen, you can go public, but if you’re using saved media, you cannot go public.
However, it looks like if you’re using saved media, you can still share a code with friends (private lobby) just can’t go public.
I’m going to be trying it out this evening with a couple friends with Ready Player One in 3D. I’ll let you know how it goes.
@@Michael-lt3zb hmm, I’ll try a few things myself. Let me how it goes!
What’s the best way to download a movie… like avatar 2 3d?
Skybox VR is an awesome program as well.
Yes it is, I fully agree, thanks for the comment mate! 🙏🏻
Thanks for the video. Littlstar was ripping me off to watch 3D movies
You're super welcome Jason, thanks for watching!
Let’s say I only have the meta quest 3 as a standalone with no computer,is there a way to watch 3D movies by streaming?
Yup, the Bigscreen app!
You would really need a tec expert to do this, I was only 5 seconds into this post and I got lost.very complex for regular people, also, I thought you didn't need a desk top to use the quest, ive been using quest 2 without a desk top for a year,?
what is that sidebar in your desktop and how do you get it
It’s called Winstep Nexus, it’s free and it has a ton of customization options. I absolutely love it! ❤️
Good work there. I'm a big fan of frame interpolation, combine that with 3d and 60+ fps, no theater can give you that depth and perception.
Thanks so much for watching, and yeah I agree, the "3D" effect is much more pronounced in VR than it is in any Imax.
@@VRManCave try that frame interpolation and let me know your experience. You can use svp or dmitrirenderer and push that over virtual desktop.
I was the 1000th like!!!!!! But anyway awesome video bro thanks!
Ha, thank you very much for the 1000th like! Glad you liked it! ✌
@@VRManCave no problem! It was much more informative then any other video I could find 😄
Really happy to hear that mate, thanks again and have a great day! 🙏🏻
@@VRManCaveYour welcome and you too! 😊
@@JRockThumper Thanks mate, cheers! ✌🏻
I havent seen anyone do a video like this and I love 3d films so I am so excited to watch this!!!
I’m really happy to hear that Savannah, 3D movies look awesome in the Quest 2 and having all those environments to choose from in Bigscreen makes the experience even better. Have a great day and thank you for watching, it helps out more than you know! 😍
@@VRManCave thank you!!! After binging your videos all day yesterday, I just bought the Oculus from Amazon. Cant believe I actually did it haha, I am excited!!!🤧
@@savannahrose2130 hahaha, that’s awesome! I’m sure you’ll love it, and if you have any questions or want any recommendations after you get it, you know where to find me 😄. Have a wonderful day and thanks again for watching the videos! 🤩
Can I only watch my films at the home? I would love to watch them in the cinema settings on the larger screens.
It depends on which method you use. If you copy the files over to your Quest, then you can watch your movies anywhere you want, not just at home, but otherwise if you're somewhere without internet access, having the files stored locally is your only choice.
Where did u get the movie from
I have Plex and I have Bigscreen but for some reason Bigscreen can’t find the Plex server. Not sure why.
where did u get a 24gb avatar movie
Man, I'm glad this video came up in my search. This is the only one so far; impressive. Question: Where can I buy MKV 3D movies? Thanks!
Hey Bob! I'm happy TH-cam decided to put my video in there, thank you so much for watching! Unfortunately as far as I know there aren't any places where you can directly buy digital versions of 3D movies, so you're pretty much left with either buying physical 3D blurays and making your own digital version through a bluray rip, or simply renting them within Bigscreen. Otherwise if you need to be able to watch offline and can’t rip your own blurays, then you’ll need to get creative and find them around the web 😄
Buying. I definitely do that.😉
I will buy oculus quest 2 128g, i will download movie 3D from pc to oculus quest to watch after i watch i'll delete it is that ok because I didn't understand the second option.
That's not a bad way to go anyway. For the second option just search for a tuturial on how to set up Plex and you'll be good to go!
hello, is it compatible with .iso format for the movie?
For the Plex method yes, you can use .iso, but you need the file to be in a video format if you want to store it directly on your Quest or Quest 2.
I like bigscreen. No.1 its a free app. No.2 they offer some small room options. Why would you want to watch a movie in a big empty theatre? (If you do, they offer those options too). No.3 you can play your own locally stored movies (2d or 3d). However, I don't think you can play videos directly off youtube. Has other features like public rooms to share with other people. Ok, did I mention that it's FREE!
Haha yeah Bigscreen is awesome! Thanks for watching man!
I got Plex on my PC, but when I click the DLNA folder on my Quest, it keeps telling me it can’t find any servers and that I need to enable DLNA. What am I doing wrong?
DLNA is not enabled by default in Plex, you need to turn it on first to see it on your Quest in Bigscreen or any other app, check out this article: support.plex.tv/articles/200350536-dlna/#:~:text=Your%20Plex%20Media%20Server%20can,DLNA%20in%20Plex%20Web%20App.
Avatar 3D in the headset is indeed beautiful, BigScreen though does not work without WiFi so if you load movies into the Quest for traveling you will need a player like SkyboxVR....
UPDATE: Works fine since a June 2020 update!
Hey Peter! Thanks so much for watching! Bigscreen has actually released an update last year that enables you to watch movies stored on your device even when offline, check this out: uploadvr.com/bigscreen-videoplayer-update/ 😄
@@VRManCaveYou're right! Thanks for that because I prefer to sit in BigScreens 'Grand Cinema'.. :)
Nowadays with the Quest 2 resolution it is really good, not so much 3D movies though and for 2D I will not use the headset....
@@Pjotrrr60 You're super welcome, I did my research beforehand and I generally test out multiple options before recommending one to you guys. And yeah, I absolutely agree, the Quest 2 has a very good resolution for this purpose, I can't wait to see what the Quest 3 will be like 😄
Thanks for this, I can watch my own 3D movies! Now I ran into my next issue… I want host some friends to watch a 3D movie, but they cannot see the movie playing, only I can. How can I host a watch party using my locally owned 3D movies?
Hi Alex! Sadly, the only way to watch locally owned 3D movies with friends is for them to have the same file on their headset too, at least as far as I'm aware. The easier way would be to just use content from Bigscreen directly, which can be watched with friends by default.
@@VRManCave Lame..OK, got it. Thank you!
Because how would they know if it's a pirated movie or not
Just watched the new Avatar in 3D and I just wanted to make sure that I’ll be able to watch it again in 3D 😂
Using a Mac but not sure what I'm missing. I did install Plex on my laptop but I don't know what's the step to get the DLNA media servers of plex to show up on the bigscreen. All I see is "home hub 3000" and empty folders. Any thoughts?
Hey mate! You need to turn on DLNA in Plex and then as long as your Mac and Quest are on the same network, you will see that server in Bigscreen.
@@VRManCave Thanks man so I can see the DLNA on bigscreen now but how do you add movies from plex to the library? Sorry just a bit confused :/
I think I would still need to have the movie on my computer and I can't really stream from plex to bigscreen, right?
@@ghassans4157 Yes you definitely need to have the movie on your computer, and you absolutely can stream from Plex to Bigscreen since that's what Plex is for, streaming from your PC to other devices in your house. If you can see the DLNA Plex Server in Bigscreen, you just need to drag the folders into Plex, or select them as being part of the Library and they'll show up in Bigscreen. You can check out this guide here since it explains it better: www.techjunkie.com/add-move-delete-movie-plex/
Can this be done from smart phone casting to quest
Sadly you can’t cast to the Quest, but only from it to a tv or computer. The only thing you can do is use Plex, but that can only be done from a PC afaik. Cheers!
Is there an option in big screen app to not crop wide videos? I tried to play Prometheus 3D and 1/3 of the screen was cropped from both sides
Hmm, it shouldn't be cropping anything, I've played wide videos and they just show up with black bars on the top and bottom like they would in a normal cinema. You should have an aspect ratio button in Bigscreen, next to the button for selecting which type of 3D encoding it is, so make sure to try and play around with that and see if it fixes your issue.
@@VRManCave couldn’t find aspect ratio button. After selecting options button I can see only track, subs and 3D mode buttons
@@moulderca3681 Hmm does this happen with other movies as well or just that one? Maybe it's just encoded with the wrong aspect ratio from the start. Does it play ok if you try to view it on your phone for example?
@@VRManCave the video works fine on pc. In the meantime I’ve received answer from big screen support. They said it might happen because of fixed size of certain environments available in the app. This should not occur if you use your personal floating desktop instead, via Oculus Link or Remote Desktop.
@@moulderca3681 hmm ok I guess that makes sense, thanks so much for sharing your answer from them, it’s super helpful in case any other viewers are having this issue. Cheers buddy! 👍🏻
Can you watch movies on the Quest from a 3D Blu Ray player?
Hey Ken, unfortunately I don't think that you can use an external player to do this. If you could get the movie on a PC there are some ways to do this, but I haven't yet tested them out yet. Do you have a Blu-ray reader on the PC?
My only vr experience with 3d is psvr. I used Avatar 3D bluray disc.
Compared to using a real TV with glasses, vr it isn't as good. Granted, its a decent option, and adds a little depth to your movie experience, but you'll truly miss the 3d effects that your glasses and TV will offer you.
An example: Avatar - Sully and Nityri cross a ravine where jellyfish-like creatures surround Jake. In pure 3d form using glasses and a TV, you feel like you could grab them out of the air with your hands. It's astonishing how real and close they are.
Psvr doesn't give you this effect, not even close 😋
What's your sugges bro is it good to see the 3d movies or not plz reply
Has anyone come up with a way to locally stream a 3D Blu ray to Quest 2? I own several.
Well if you have a bluray reader on your computer, then I believe you can do it with Plex.
Where can I find that 3D avatar movie file? Cheers
On Google 😄 Unfortunately I can’t share it here for obvious reasons, but it’s easy to find 3D movies to download online :)
Is there a way to watch 3D movies if you are using your occulus as standalone?
Hey Sophia! This method works completely stand-alone, but you do need a PC to load these onto the Quest initially. If you are wondering if there is a completely stand-alone method without requiring a PC at all, then the only option is to simply watch the movies directly in Bigscreen, which means either renting them or just watching the free ones that have commercials on them. Hope that helps, but if I didn't answer your question, please let me know and I'll try to clarify. Thanks for watching!
Remote Desktop for some reason doesn't work for me , is it because of the new update or something ?
Oh that's too bad. I've just used it a few days ago and it worked fine. Maybe try reinstalling?
