Still works in 2022! Thanks so much for walking me through something I've been trying to do for ages...find a free and easy way to watch legally purchased 3D films in VR.
@5:20 Right Eye vs Left Eye. I think BD3D2MK3D has been fixed for the issue of Right Eye option not showing in 3D. I did the 15 Disk Hobbit Trilogy 3D and Valerian and the city of a thousand planets (which I received a few days ago) both titles were set for Right Eye and they came out fine in 3D on playback.
Thanks for the video. I have been trying to figure out how to get 3d on my vr headset. The alt function may come in handy in the future. Thanks for all the tips. :)
Thanks to you and Wes! I think you have made my day! I have been struggling with free apps all week and getting nowhere, even eac3to coding. Been fun, but frustrating.
Quest 2 users, if you want your movie on the go this guide works too. When encoding ends, you just need one movie file, the one with same size as movie. Put it on your quest 2 movie folder. Mine works with bigscreen.
Three years and still working. Thank you for your work. I have copied all your steps and succeeded but got 1 problem with Subtitle. The subtitle is in 2D (not 3D). I tried to Rip again and again but did not succeed. How can you keep all sub in 3D?
That's a good question I've not tried to use the subtitles even though I think I keep them. I just ripped a movie in 3d I'll have to check it out and see.
I have 3d TV but HDMI stop working due some technical reason but now i have blueray i want to convert to 3d sbs to watch on TV but its not working. my monitor is 4k and while converting video all 3d video convert in 3d 4k , how to change resolution to keep in 1080p ? please advise why 3d not working in TV on i tried on LAN network to play there
Thanks for this. I've installed all of these and followed this guide. However, I've noticed that BD3D2MK3D itself can do this and created a file using that alone(without makemkv). I cannot see any difference of the final mkv files on both methods(they both have same 3d quality on my oculus quest), apart from when using makemkv, it took more time(to create two files). Anyone have some experience, please explain why you need makemkv?
Fantastic ! Now is the first time I can watch my legally bought copy of 'Long Day's Journey Into Night' in 3D on my 'LG TV'. The webshop did not state it was 'Region A' and this disc is not even available for my region (Europe). Thank you so much !
Thanks for this, it helped me, and it works. I also tried alot of other programs but it seems most of them add fake 3d depth with one plane..... Kind of sad because you have to pay for them
I appreciate the info about the strange "life of pi" discs....I have the same issue with Edge of Tomorrow, however your fix didn't have any effect. I can play the files fine on my Plasma TV with and without deleting that text from the file, however when I try to play them in Bigscreen, they show as 2D movies....even tho in VLC they show side by side and will play in 3D in bigscreen if I just make the desktop SBS. I really don't understand why my files are not working properly, I have tried everything. Other 3D files work fine.
Pro tip: Use VidCoder to compress that down to about 5Gb. It will convert it to an MP4, so not sure if that will work with the player you use. I'm using a cheap VR headset that plays on my phone and playing it via Plex.
Thanks. Now I have looking for something more difficult : I would like to also have audio from my home theatre... I assume that the only way to do that is playing the same file through my usual player...hard to synchronize...
Excellent walkthrough, thanks. Worked! I work mostly on a Mac but use a PC for the BD3D2MK3D part of the process. There's nothing on a Mac that can do that part. I've purchased a few of the so-called conversion applications like EaseFab and Tipard for the Mac and they're all useless. Be aware that these programs all advertise that they can do everything, but they can't, and they seem to all be the same program under different names. While the trial demos might work, when purchased and unlocked they're unable to read ANY 3D Blu-rays (despite advertising the ability to convert 3D Blu-rays to SBS 3D movies). Turns out that they only work with "home made" Blu-ray discs. Huh? So basically useless. So you really do need to use MKV to rip and then find a PC to do the BD3D2MK3D part. It took my a couple of attempts at installing AvisynthPlus to get BD3D2MK3D to work. I had to find the right link to the right installer. Of course everything is not all in one easy-to-find place so you really have to be motivated to do this stuff. The process is 1. rip 3D Blu-ray in MKV on the Mac, 2. move the file over to the PC and run BD3D2MK3D using your instructions, 3. bring the resulting MKV file back to the Mac and drag into Skybox. I want to keep everything on the Mac side as much as possible. I was shocked at how easily Skybox worked. I'm going to retrace my steps now and make step-by-step instructions in case I need to reinstall everything at some point.
Thanks for your comment. I was surprised at how difficult it was for this to actually get done. In fact, I had given up, someone else pointed me in the right direction (I think I might have mentioned that in the video). I just thew this together from the info he gave me, except for the manual modification you have to do to the avs file when the eyes are swapped to be properly encoded.
@@OPENPCreviews Also reminds me I need to pick up a copy of The Little Prince! And just got the Samsung Odyssey Plus. Was on sale for about $230. How could I not? Now want to try it on that. So far it seems great!
Great tutorial! I was successful on the first try using the recommended software. When everything is completed, do I only need to keep the MKV file and junk the rest of it, or do I need to keep more for these to play properly?
@@OPENPCreviews I just waited for the disc to load and hit the "extract" button. This way, I had to sort out the streams I wanted in Handbrake - which works totally fine, but I did not know that "MakeMKV" actually made... MKVs. Silly me.
Excellent info but I decided to try this method on probably one of the most troublesome 3D discs in existence.... "The Peanuts Movie" nightmare! I own the movie but wanted to rip it to my cloud for viewing in my Q2. No luck. The guanlet is thrown down.... Great vid by the way.
Hey thanks! What's the issue with the Peanuts Movie? I don't have that one, but maybe I'll get it and try :) Ok I'm buying it and am going to test this!
@@OPENPCreviews It's various things, but to be honest I'm probably overthinking most of them. I've been using my work rig up to now so my next step is to bring my USB Blu-ray drive home and try it there. I ripped an ordinary disc to 32G then used handbrake to get it down to 3.5 with great results so I'm getting there. It's just the 3D SBS stuff I want to nail now. Cheers for getting back to me! It's appreciated.
@@kevwolf69 Hey just to let you know, because of this comment I decided to buy The Peanuts Movie in 3D and try it. Works perfectly for me following my guide in this video :)
A lot things to do ... I recommend to use DVDFAB just put the 3D cd in the Blueray player and and select to rip and 3d MKV-MVC and that it .. you will see the original 3d exactly you have on your disc .. actually it’s working with 4K also ...
@@OPENPCreviews Exactly this title (Tron Legacy) I have ordered and cannot wait to see it in 3D :-) I tried this technique on "World War Z" and seemingly it worked fine. (not yet seen in Meta Quest)
@@OPENPCreviews yea i thought about it and was like yea no thats not what this video meant lol. one thing i like to add is that it doesnt have to say 3D exactly, it can also be like something/something and it still works.
Thanks a lot for this tutorial. I dont own a external player but I have an oculus go and LG blue ray on my pc. Recently I have purchased Sin City a Dame to Kill for, on Amazon ( used disc ). I want to see that movie on my Oculus but makemkv ( 1.14.7 ) does not show any MPEG4 -MVC -3D Stream on it , that name is mandatory to ensure that I am riping the 3D stream ?
Very helpful video. Thanks. I have a technical question: BD3D2MK3D creates several files (e.g. .264, .mvc) in addition to the 3D mkv file. Are these temporary files or are they needed by Oculus viewer for 3D?
Thanks for the info - I do have a question... I was about to buy the "PIONEER External Blu-ray Drive BDR-XD08UMB-S", but one comment says it does NOT have LibreDrive capability. The commenter says that without that, you cannot save 4K movies onto the computer. Do you know anything about this? Is this an issue? If this is true, then not all Blu-Ray external drives will work for this. They play movies fine, but you will not be able to save?
thanks a lot for your great tutorial, may i have a question, what is the resolution of the final file you made, is 3840x1080 or 1920x1080 ? thanks a again
Thank you for this. The resulting video opens in Skybox just fine but the plan was actually to have a virtually shared 3D movie nite with Bigscreen Beta however that same file shows a error and won't open when used with Bigscreen. What specs or settings need to change for it to work? Should I make sure it doesn't have any subtitle files? Or perhaps it should in fact be Half side-by-side to make it compatible with Bigscreen. (I couldn't find a answer online)
@@OPENPCreviews Yeah I couldn't hear my friend last night in Bigscreen even though we both had our mics unmuted and even tried reentering the room. FYI the very best resolution for playing 3D video in Bigscreen is 1080p Full SBS. Anything higher resolution actually looks worse. Bigscreen must have a bad scaler. Skybox is different and 4K Full SBS looks the best. I just wish Skybox had a way to do shared multiplayer. Have you explored AI 2D to 3D conversion or AI HD to 4K upscaling programs? Lots of exciting things happening with AI processing lately.
Hi, I’m having problems with the Superman movie, once is pipped and encoded, half is ok and the other half of the movie is just green. Hope you can help. Thanks!!!
Hi, thanks for the very good video. I am having one issue though and that is the encoding on my Ryzen 7 is taking a very long time it shows 20fps for most of the time. May I ask how many frames are being encoded for you. many thanks.
Depending on my settings sometimes it's under 3 fps. Encoding can take anywhere from 3 hours to 12 generally. It depends on what you have it set to. The default is medium.
@@tech360gamer Medium is considered good. However people will usually tell you to just try different settings and see what looks good to you. I would say that for sure medium is good, however it is not perfect, and I wanted to do my rips perfectly so I think I used very slow preset and it took over 12 hours or so. However that will also depend on what your system specs are.
One thing I'm not sure about is audio. For headset you basically need just stereo. So you keep it at 7.1 if it is in source and let player handle it or should I convert it to stereo? I've been also figuring out if converting to binaural audio would make sense.
@@OPENPCreviewsYeah, I watched that part multiple times yesterday :) It doesn't say though if to go with 5.1 or 2 channels - which is better with headphones - to trust the player to downsample it 2 channels on the fly or do it in the BD3D2MK3D. I guess I have to try out but at least I know 5.1 seems to work quite well in Skybox. Btw, if you have 7.1 source like Avatar 2 3D, then unchecking the "Convert the audio tracks.." will keep it. Now the question is again, how well does Skybox handle 7.1? I'd guess probably quite well. In future releases they have a roadmap to support spatial audio so I hope they actually track all of the speakers in the virtual environment and then downsample depending on where your head is looking.. In that context keeping the channels might be a good choice.
Hey this tutorial works a treat but my last few attempts have ended up keeping the descriptive audio. how do I stop this or is this just an option to disable when playing the video back in my headset?
Have you ever had issues with completing the process with 3d region free copies from oversees? I just received a couple, and they are in fact copies (not commercial discs). Make MKV completes, but bd3d2mk3d has an error at the bottom when trying to ‘open 3d mkv created by makemkv’. It says ‘tsmuxer error parsing the mkv file: bad sei detected. Sei too short’. Thanks for your help!
I can tell you a secret!!! If you open the RUN dialogue, by pressing "WINDOWS KEY" and "R" at the same time, just copy THIS command into it and press ENTER: steam://install/721090 But you must FIRST HAVE STEAM ALREADY RUNNING!!! Then it will install Skybox for you!!!!! Let me know how it goes for you! :)
Not sure if anything changed since your video, but it looks like you downloaded the v1.14.2 Beta. I just came across your tutorial and downloaded the MakeMKV v1.17.3 In your video at @1:11 where you click the "Mpeg4-MVC-3D" but I've tried several of my 3D Blu-Rays and they don't show that file name. I checked a few discs like Pacific Rim 3D and Mad Max Fury Road 3D, that unchecked video says "Mpeg4 MVC High@L4.1/StereoHigh@L4.1" assuming that's the correct file to choose? Also other 'hybrid' disks that have both the 2D and 3D versions on one Bluray (like Creature From the Black Lagoon or Doctor Who) doesn't show any Mpeg4-MVC-3D on the list either, so I'm not sure what to choose if I want to rip the 3D portion out of the Blu-ray.
Did you ever figure out how this process works for top-and-bottom 3D movies? I have a few classic 3D movie titles (e.g., Creature from the Black Lagoon) that are in this format but when I used this process to convert them to sbs 3D files, the left and right images do not align properly. Any ideas?
I have no idea but my first thought is to just convert it to top bottom and see if it looks correct that way first that way you can tell if it's a problem with the source material or not.
Thank you for this tutorial! I will try it in the next days and hope I'll be able to watch the movie in Bigscreen on Oculus Quest. Did you already try it with Bigscreen?
Quick Update: Worked perfect on Skybox, thank you very much agein for the tutorial. Everything nice explained and easy to follow. Didn't try it on Bigscreen yet, since I was too lazy to install the Bigscreen Desktop App on my PC.
It turns out this shouldn't be needed any longer! Last I tried this everything worked fine without needing to do this! So you can ignore that part of the tutorial.
@@OPENPCreviews Thanks! Actually, I poked around some of the files that were opened by BD3D2MK3D and the layout = "alt" code was still there. I figured out how to delete it and the files look great now.
Question. I downloaded a 3d Movie ISO file online. When I open the file in MakeMKV on the left after I click on the dropdown arrow where you state that I have to click the check box labeled "Video Mpegs4-MVC-3D", mine doesn't say that. It says "Mpeg4 MVC High@L4.1/StereoHigh@L4.1". That's the only option and it's definitely a 3D file because I tested on a video player that can play 3D ISO files. Do you have any suggestions or reasons why mine says something different? TY
I've done some digging and apparently MakeMVK after version 1.15.1 does not allow you to pick the MVC 3D track, it doesn't even come up in the list. Looking into downloading a version that works...
Hello. I'm using a LebreDrive external Blur ray drive. When my 3D blu ray movies are analyzed, I don't see the 3D format to select in MakeMKV. All the others are there, but no 3D option to check. I can rip 4K fine, but 3D just won't show up in the menu to select to rip.
@@OPENPCreviews Thanks for getting back to me...I worked it out. The only problem I'm having now is that playstation vr doesn't recognize mkv3d. And I don't know how to combine both halves of the image.
It's still working in 2024, but now you have to pay $10 for Skybox. I'm at a loss for doing the Na'vi Subtitles in Avatar. Does anyone know how to "Be sure to define the right 3D-plane number for the subtitles streams you need"? Any help or direction would be appreciated.
hello quick question. I have heard with the go it is best to convert videos to 720p. what are your thoughts on this and would i have any benfits converting to a smaller size after using this tutorial with such as handbrake
It is said that at any given time each eye is only seeing up to 720p, however, if you have a 1080P video and you have the movie screen close to you so that some of the sides are past your peripheral vision, as I show in this video, then you are able to enjoy the 1080p because only about 720p of it is on the screen at any given time since the rest is outside of your view and you have to turn your head to see the rest of the picture, looks great and really gives you a good sense of immersion.
@@tjwilliams9571 I think my average file sizes are between 20 to 35 GB. but I'm not trying to make them small I'm just trying to make sure that they look perfect.
I am not techy! I love 3d (ive even brought 3d blu-rays, when i already have the blu ray in 2d!!!) i have BR Player & a PS4 for gaming & games which u can use with a VR Headset, which Id love to do! but i dont have a VR headset cos Im unsure which to buy & read conflicting advice...So for ps4 vr games, they say buy a Playstation VR so is that true or will other VR h.sets work!??? I ve heard u can just buy a v cheap outer casing and use yr Mobile Phone as the player!! And theres Oculos Rift and as u mention Oculos Go! also is there big difference betwween them and also other VR headsets?? And is there a biggish difference between watching normal blu rays (and DVDs??? & if so are videos ok too??) plus Netfix films) & watching the 3d blu rays cos I though VR was meant to be better than 3d, a gamechanging device??!!? SO any help would be greatly appreciated.....
a modern vr headset from the last year or 2 is best because of less screen door effect, watching on my vive pro was miserable. valve index was much better quality and the wider field of view made it so you could make the virtual screen bigger and not have to move your head as much to see everything but requires a PC. psvr will be your cheapest option but its also5 years old and low resolution/fov but i believe it will play 3d blurays directly so super easy to use
The final mkv file can be played in VCL Media Player on the notebook but when copied to the Quest 2 the file is visible in video folder start in SKYBOX but without picture and sound. Any Idea what to do?
Hello, need more help could "47 Ronin 3D" be a movie that this doesn't work I watched your video about 7 times trying to find out what step I missing but I end up the same no 3d no side by side only a 2d copy P.S. I have only tried this move. Thanks
I don't think you need a specific drive. I'm not sure if some drives can't rip or not? I think they all probably can. And yes you should be able to use these rips with Bigscreen.
@@OPENPCreviews I saw some people saying 3d blu ray cannot be played on non-3d drive and the specs sheet of blu ray players I found did point out that they don't support 3d blu rays, though I don't know if it's a different case with ripping it
@@BortaMaga That's when it comes to a standalone BluRay player. You need one that can output in a special 3D signal on the HDMI cable going to your TV. This isn't the case however when it comes to BluRay drives on your computer.
No you need a Blu-ray player specifically designed for PCs. Either buy an external one that connects via USB or an internal drive that connects by SATA.
Just ordered a blu ray drive for my desktop to finally sit down and do this. Especially since downloading movies these days will get you copyright notices from an ISP. Is this still the best way to rip 3d blu rays?
@@OPENPCreviews for real! I tried using Usenet servers like people were saying, but while that is way better than torrents it still didn't have random stuff like Godzilla 2014 or Guardians of the Galaxy (i even accidentally got a german predator 3d movie lol). Now i can just rip my own blu rays. B)
Yes, stay away from paid programs, which claim to do the same. They don't. I have paid for one and tried two others. They are just making some 2D to 3D conversion, which only puts some depth to the movie, but doesn't have any real 3D effects.
Can someone help me on where AVISYNTH comes into play? I installed it but not quite sure what to do with it. I've reviewed the video numeourous times and other than the quick text message a few seconds in, I don't think he talks about it again.
Followed everything you said. I checked off the box saying to exit and encode. I get a command prompt window at the end with the last lines saying: "The type of file MKV3D_3D.264 could not be recognized. Press any key to continue..." It creates a folder with a bunch of files with assorted file types. The biggest one at 23gigs is a 264 file. I assume that's the movie. What's up?
I had the same problem. There was an error in BD3D2MK3D Versions 1.12 to 1.13, which tried to use the 64-bit version of AviSynth even if it wasn't installed. Install the latest version of BD3D2MK3D and install AviSynthPlus, the 64-bit version of AviSynth. AviSynthPlus is the recommended version now by the author and it is a lot faster too. Unless you have a 32-bit version of Windows. But the newest version would work then also
so i've tried this but i cant find the 3d mv,c it only shows a normal mvc which becomes a 2d version if you do stuff, and these are definitely 3d blu rays i've been trying, is there a setting to make the 3d mvc files show up?
None that I'm aware of.. should just be automatic, unless something is broken in the latest version of this software. Are you able to try any other 3D BluRay discs?
OPEN PC reviews I’ve had the same problem where I have 3D blu ray movie but no 3D mkv though it does export in 3D because if I play it on pc it says to wear red and blue glasses so it definitely there. Now my other problem is the avisynth software I have installed but when I open the BD3Dmkv software it’s telling me it not installed for some odd reason and my blu ray player is capable of 3D blu ray discs. I’m on windows 7 (I know it old) it offline so there no internet connection with it but I can’t seem to get those two softwares to work together. Help would very much be appreciated.

@@OPENPCreviews When I play the MKV file that was made, It has a narration of what is going on on screen in the movie. I don't know if this is a security thing with the blu rays or something. It doesnt do it with all of my disks. Thank you!
@@chrisolson4117 That sounds like your Blu Ray has a commentary track that you've moved over with the rip. Go back to your original 3D Blu Ray in MakeMKV and uncheck the audio file that applies to your commentary. If there are multiple audio files, it may take you a few tries to narrow it down to the correct file. Then go through the process again. Should fix your problem.
I was never able to get DVD Fab to run on my PC. It kept telling me that the file had been altered and therefore wouldn't run, although it had NOT been altered. I emailed them about it and then sent me some beta version which also did the same thing.
I just bought a used internal Blu-ray drive and then use an external USB enclosure attachment to connect it to the PC via USB. Not sure which model. Probably any will do. 👍 I got it for like $40 off eBay.
@@OPENPCreviews okay, ripped some of my blu-rays and played them in Skybox - awesome experience! Edit: works now. Avisynth was not installed correctly.
Thanks for this video. The hardest part when getting started (at least for me) was whether I needed a blu-Ray drive that is labeled for 3D or not. It sounds like that is not the case. This will simplify which drive I buy.
Does anyone know how to rip the dolby atmos track from the 2d blu ray and mux it with the 3d blu ray which has only 5.1? Godzilla King of the monsters, for example.
For anyone reading this in the future I use MKVToolNix GUI to combine the two video files and keep the 3D converted movie everything and only keep the Atmos from the 2D blu ray ripped file.

I assume that the only way to do that is playing the same file through my usual player...hard to synchronize...
I'm glad these movies qon't get lost in their best version
Excellent walkthrough, thanks. Worked! I work mostly on a Mac but use a PC for the BD3D2MK3D part of the process. There's nothing on a Mac that can do that part. I've purchased a few of the so-called conversion applications like EaseFab and Tipard for the Mac and they're all useless. Be aware that these programs all advertise that they can do everything, but they can't, and they seem to all be the same program under different names. While the trial demos might work, when purchased and unlocked they're unable to read ANY 3D Blu-rays (despite advertising the ability to convert 3D Blu-rays to SBS 3D movies). Turns out that they only work with "home made" Blu-ray discs. Huh? So basically useless. So you really do need to use MKV to rip and then find a PC to do the BD3D2MK3D part.
It took my a couple of attempts at installing AvisynthPlus to get BD3D2MK3D to work. I had to find the right link to the right installer. Of course everything is not all in one easy-to-find place so you really have to be motivated to do this stuff.
The process is 1. rip 3D Blu-ray in MKV on the Mac, 2. move the file over to the PC and run BD3D2MK3D using your instructions, 3. bring the resulting MKV file back to the Mac and drag into Skybox. I want to keep everything on the Mac side as much as possible. I was shocked at how easily Skybox worked. I'm going to retrace my steps now and make step-by-step instructions in case I need to reinstall everything at some point.
Thanks for your comment. I was surprised at how difficult it was for this to actually get done. In fact, I had given up, someone else pointed me in the right direction (I think I might have mentioned that in the video). I just thew this together from the info he gave me, except for the manual modification you have to do to the avs file when the eyes are swapped to be properly encoded.
@@OPENPCreviews Also reminds me I need to pick up a copy of The Little Prince! And just got the Samsung Odyssey Plus. Was on sale for about $230. How could I not? Now want to try it on that. So far it seems great!
@@marko_v yeah i love using my Odyssey plus!!!
If you have a right-eye disk, after making the folder and editing the file, how do you then make the 3d mkv file?
Thank you so much!!!! Gratitude and Love!
You are so welcome glad you find this useful!
Great tutorial! I was successful on the first try using the recommended software. When everything is completed, do I only need to keep the MKV file and junk the rest of it, or do I need to keep more for these to play properly?
You should only need to keep the MKV file!
It seems I have been using my MakeMKV all wrong. Thanks for the insight.
You're welcome? What were you doing wrong?
@@OPENPCreviews I just waited for the disc to load and hit the "extract" button. This way, I had to sort out the streams I wanted in Handbrake - which works totally fine, but I did not know that "MakeMKV" actually made... MKVs. Silly me.
Excellent info but I decided to try this method on probably one of the most troublesome 3D discs in existence.... "The Peanuts Movie" nightmare! I own the movie but wanted to rip it to my cloud for viewing in my Q2. No luck. The guanlet is thrown down.... Great vid by the way.
Hey thanks! What's the issue with the Peanuts Movie? I don't have that one, but maybe I'll get it and try :)
Ok I'm buying it and am going to test this!
@@OPENPCreviews It's various things, but to be honest I'm probably overthinking most of them. I've been using my work rig up to now so my next step is to bring my USB Blu-ray drive home and try it there. I ripped an ordinary disc to 32G then used handbrake to get it down to 3.5 with great results so I'm getting there. It's just the 3D SBS stuff I want to nail now. Cheers for getting back to me! It's appreciated.
@@kevwolf69 Hey just to let you know, because of this comment I decided to buy The Peanuts Movie in 3D and try it. Works perfectly for me following my guide in this video :)
A lot things to do ... I recommend to use DVDFAB just put the 3D cd in the Blueray player and and select to rip and 3d MKV-MVC and that it .. you will see the original 3d exactly you have on your disc .. actually it’s working with 4K also ...
Sadly DVDFab won't work for me.
@@OPENPCreviews And it is not free!
Very helpful - thank you.

Thanks sharing your work! Appreciated.
You're welcome. I just used this technique again today for Tron Legacy.
@@OPENPCreviews Exactly this title (Tron Legacy) I have ordered and cannot wait to see it in 3D :-) I tried this technique on "World War Z" and seemingly it worked fine. (not yet seen in Meta Quest)
Nice! It looks good in 3D but for some reason the 3D effect doesn't seem very strong in most scenes. Still a good time watching it!
Recommended settings for DD / DTS HD watching from PC to active (samsung) 3DTV?
this is awesome, now I just need to find out how to do it on a mac
this help a lot. thanks dude
wait does this mean u can convert non 3d to 3d aswell?
You're welcome. It won't do a 2D to 3D conversion if that's what you mean.
@@OPENPCreviews yea i thought about it and was like yea no thats not what this video meant lol. one thing i like to add is that it doesnt have to say 3D exactly, it can also be like something/something and it still works.
perfect, just what I needed
Thanks a lot for this tutorial. I dont own a external player but I have an oculus go and LG blue ray on my pc. Recently I have purchased Sin City a Dame to Kill for, on Amazon ( used disc ). I want to see that movie on my Oculus but makemkv ( 1.14.7 ) does not show any MPEG4 -MVC -3D Stream on it , that name is mandatory to ensure that I am riping the 3D stream ?
Very helpful video. Thanks. I have a technical question: BD3D2MK3D creates several files (e.g. .264, .mvc) in addition to the 3D mkv file. Are these temporary files or are they needed by Oculus viewer for 3D?
They are temp files. The final MKV is the only file you need for playback once everything has been completed!
what about 3d TV?
@@HIFITECHNOINDIA What about it?
Thanks for the info - I do have a question... I was about to buy the "PIONEER External Blu-ray Drive BDR-XD08UMB-S", but one comment says it does NOT have LibreDrive capability. The commenter says that without that, you cannot save 4K movies onto the computer. Do you know anything about this? Is this an issue? If this is true, then not all Blu-Ray external drives will work for this. They play movies fine, but you will not be able to save?
thanks a lot for your great tutorial, may i have a question, what is the resolution of the final file you made, is 3840x1080 or 1920x1080 ? thanks a again
Full SBS is 3840x1080
Half SBS is 1920x1080
I made mine Full SBS.
Thank you for this. The resulting video opens in Skybox just fine but the plan was actually to have a virtually shared 3D movie nite with Bigscreen Beta however that same file shows a error and won't open when used with Bigscreen. What specs or settings need to change for it to work? Should I make sure it doesn't have any subtitle files? Or perhaps it should in fact be Half side-by-side to make it compatible with Bigscreen. (I couldn't find a answer online)
I've honestly had problems with BigScreen, usually audio, so I don't know. Sorry.
@@OPENPCreviews Yeah I couldn't hear my friend last night in Bigscreen even though we both had our mics unmuted and even tried reentering the room. FYI the very best resolution for playing 3D video in Bigscreen is 1080p Full SBS. Anything higher resolution actually looks worse. Bigscreen must have a bad scaler. Skybox is different and 4K Full SBS looks the best. I just wish Skybox had a way to do shared multiplayer. Have you explored AI 2D to 3D conversion or AI HD to 4K upscaling programs? Lots of exciting things happening with AI processing lately.
BigScreen has been having serious issues with audio lately. Reported to support about a week ago. (Mar 4, 2021)
Hi, I’m having problems with the Superman movie, once is pipped and encoded, half is ok and the other half of the movie is just green. Hope you can help. Thanks!!!
Hi, thanks for the very good video. I am having one issue though and that is the encoding on my Ryzen 7 is taking a very long time it shows 20fps for most of the time. May I ask how many frames are being encoded for you.
many thanks.
Depending on my settings sometimes it's under 3 fps. Encoding can take anywhere from 3 hours to 12 generally. It depends on what you have it set to. The default is medium.
@@OPENPCreviews Thank you for the info and may I ask is medium pretty good or shall I go to slower. Thank you
@@tech360gamer Medium is considered good. However people will usually tell you to just try different settings and see what looks good to you. I would say that for sure medium is good, however it is not perfect, and I wanted to do my rips perfectly so I think I used very slow preset and it took over 12 hours or so. However that will also depend on what your system specs are.
@@OPENPCreviews Thank you for the information.
One thing I'm not sure about is audio. For headset you basically need just stereo. So you keep it at 7.1 if it is in source and let player handle it or should I convert it to stereo? I've been also figuring out if converting to binaural audio would make sense.
Up to you. You can see I address the audio choice @ 2:49
@@OPENPCreviewsYeah, I watched that part multiple times yesterday :) It doesn't say though if to go with 5.1 or 2 channels - which is better with headphones - to trust the player to downsample it 2 channels on the fly or do it in the BD3D2MK3D. I guess I have to try out but at least I know 5.1 seems to work quite well in Skybox. Btw, if you have 7.1 source like Avatar 2 3D, then unchecking the "Convert the audio tracks.." will keep it. Now the question is again, how well does Skybox handle 7.1? I'd guess probably quite well. In future releases they have a roadmap to support spatial audio so I hope they actually track all of the speakers in the virtual environment and then downsample depending on where your head is looking.. In that context keeping the channels might be a good choice.
Good question. I don't know if I have any discs with 7.1 audio on it. If you try it, please report back!
Hey this tutorial works a treat but my last few attempts have ended up keeping the descriptive audio. how do I stop this or is this just an option to disable when playing the video back in my headset?
Have you ever had issues with completing the process with 3d region free copies from oversees? I just received a couple, and they are in fact copies (not commercial discs). Make MKV completes, but bd3d2mk3d has an error at the bottom when trying to ‘open 3d mkv created by makemkv’. It says ‘tsmuxer error parsing the mkv file: bad sei detected. Sei too short’. Thanks for your help!
Hi great video. Do you have any idea about an error that says can't convert files to aac
I don't think I'm familiar with that?
Hi, what else players do you reccomend for watching 3D? Skybox can't be download for steam....
I can tell you a secret!!! If you open the RUN dialogue, by pressing "WINDOWS KEY" and "R" at the same time, just copy THIS command into it and press ENTER:
steam://install/721090
But you must FIRST HAVE STEAM ALREADY RUNNING!!! Then it will install Skybox for you!!!!! Let me know how it goes for you! :)
Not sure if anything changed since your video, but it looks like you downloaded the v1.14.2 Beta. I just came across your tutorial and downloaded the MakeMKV v1.17.3
In your video at @1:11 where you click the "Mpeg4-MVC-3D" but I've tried several of my 3D Blu-Rays and they don't show that file name.
I checked a few discs like Pacific Rim 3D and Mad Max Fury Road 3D, that unchecked video says "Mpeg4 MVC High@L4.1/StereoHigh@L4.1" assuming that's the correct file to choose?
Also other 'hybrid' disks that have both the 2D and 3D versions on one Bluray (like Creature From the Black Lagoon or Doctor Who) doesn't show any Mpeg4-MVC-3D on the list either, so I'm not sure what to choose if I want to rip the 3D portion out of the Blu-ray.
Having the same thing too for my Avatar Way Of Water 3D Blu Ray.. I don't see the Mpeg4-MVC-3D either.
Same problem, any progress?
@@shawnb4234 Same here with Avatar
Did you ever figure out how this process works for top-and-bottom 3D movies? I have a few classic 3D movie titles (e.g., Creature from the Black Lagoon) that are in this format but when I used this process to convert them to sbs 3D files, the left and right images do not align properly. Any ideas?
I have no idea but my first thought is to just convert it to top bottom and see if it looks correct that way first that way you can tell if it's a problem with the source material or not.
Thank you for this tutorial! I will try it in the next days and hope I'll be able to watch the movie in Bigscreen on Oculus Quest. Did you already try it with Bigscreen?
I've had nothing but problems with Bigscreen, on the Go and the Quest.
Oh, okay. Doesn't sound good haha well if it won't work I'll just use Skybox as you recommended :) Thanks for the quick answer!

Hey! After you delete layout = "alt" from the ENCODE file, how do you process the 3D file after you make the correction? Am I missing a step?
It turns out this shouldn't be needed any longer! Last I tried this everything worked fine without needing to do this! So you can ignore that part of the tutorial.
@@OPENPCreviews Thanks! Actually, I poked around some of the files that were opened by

Question. I downloaded a 3d Movie ISO file online. When I open the file in MakeMKV on the left after I click on the dropdown arrow where you state that I have to click the check box labeled "Video Mpegs4-MVC-3D", mine doesn't say that. It says "Mpeg4 MVC High@L4.1/StereoHigh@L4.1". That's the only option and it's definitely a 3D file because I tested on a video player that can play 3D ISO files. Do you have any suggestions or reasons why mine says something different? TY
Yeah I think it doesn't always say "3D". I have recently experienced this. Might also just be an updated behavior of the current version of MakeMKV.
still works with quest 3in 2024
I still use this tutorial myself when I rip and yeah it's still working great! :)
I've done some digging and apparently MakeMVK after version 1.15.1 does not allow you to pick the MVC 3D track, it doesn't even come up in the list. Looking into downloading a version that works...
I'm on 1.17.2 and it allows me to select the MVC 3D track just fine. Are you still having issues? Maybe try a different 3D movie?
Hello. I'm using a LebreDrive external Blur ray drive. When my 3D blu ray movies are analyzed, I don't see the 3D format to select in MakeMKV. All the others are there, but no 3D option to check. I can rip 4K fine, but 3D just won't show up in the menu to select to rip.

hello quick question. I have heard with the go it is best to convert videos to 720p. what are your thoughts on this and would i have any benfits converting to a smaller size after using this tutorial with such as handbrake
It is said that at any given time each eye is only seeing up to 720p, however, if you have a 1080P video and you have the movie screen close to you so that some of the sides are past your peripheral vision, as I show in this video, then you are able to enjoy the 1080p because only about 720p of it is on the screen at any given time since the rest is outside of your view and you have to turn your head to see the rest of the picture, looks great and really gives you a good sense of immersion.

SO any help would be greatly appreciated.....
a modern vr headset from the last year or 2 is best because of less screen door effect, watching on my vive pro was miserable. valve index was much better quality and the wider field of view made it so you could make the virtual screen bigger and not have to move your head as much to see everything but requires a PC. psvr will be your cheapest option but its also5 years old and low resolution/fov but i believe it will play 3d blurays directly so super easy to use
