today we're gonna transfer a 360 degree
3d mp4 file to the oculus go through its
USB port so that you can view the video
at a later time
offline there are quite a few apps that
allow you to stream 3d videos on your
oculus like YouTube VR Samsung VR videos
and oculus video but there are times
when you may want to watch 3d videos
offline or avoid logging into Facebook
just to watch some movies whether at a
friend's house or on a trip out of state
the first thing you'll want to do of
course is to download the video or movie
onto your PC simply searching for
something like free VR movie download in
your favorite search engine will give
you plenty of options for downloading
videos I'll let you decide what you want
to use but for the purpose of this
tutorial I already have a file
downloaded and prepared for 3d videos
the file will typically be in an mp4
container the oculus can support h.264
encoding up to a resolution of 4096 by
2048 at 60 frames per second or h.265
encoding up to 4096 by 4096 at 30 frames
per second when you open it up in
Windows Media Player which can't handle
displaying 3d formats you'll see
something like this where you have the
two stereoscopic images top and bottom
in either full or half resolution other
videos may have the images side-by-side
like this in either case the oculus co
will be able to decode the 3d if you
open the file in the movies & TV
application you'll be able to click and
drag your mouse within the image to
rotate the view in all directions after
you turn on the oculus go the next step
is to connect the microUSB cable you'll
want to take off the headset then plug
in the microUSB connector into the
oculus and the other side of the cable
into a USB port of the computer you'll
see it being recognized in Windows and
when I open file explorer the VR headset
will appear as a device however when you
click on it no sub folders or files will
appear what you'll need to do is put on
the oculus again
at which point you should see a dialog
box asking you to allow access to data
now even before this depending on how
long you've had your headset off you may
be presented with a request to reorient
your view which you can do by
long-pressing the oculus button you'll
then want to hit allow to give your PC
access to the oculus now we can take the
headset off and go back to Windows once
we reopen File Explorer and enter the VR
headset we can drill down to the
subfolders you'll want to choose the
movies folder and copy over the
downloaded file by dragging and dropping
it depending on the size of the file
this can take some time so I'll take a
quick break and heat some mozzarella
sticks in the toaster oven okay we're
back we can now unplug the USB cable
from the oculus and return to the
headset at this point go ahead and
navigate to the free oculus gallery app
once the source selector pops up you'll
want to choose internal storage at which
point you'll see the file that you've
copied over from the PC depending on the
file name of the video you may or may
not see it in full stereoscopic 3d
should it come up in 2d where you're
sitting in a theater
click the trigger button on the
controller which will bring up the
different 2d and 3d modes to which you
can switch you can also manually change
whether the video is side by side or top
and bottom after hitting the 360 3d icon
the video will appear in that mode where
you'll be able to spin in your office
chair or turn your head in any direction
if you want the video to come up in the
correct mode automatically and you know
the format of the video beforehand you
can rename the file itself before you
copy it to the oculus simply add an
underscore three six zero to the end of
the file name and if it's top and bottom
add an additional underscore TB if it's
side-by-side add an underscore LR
instead after you transfer it to the
headset oculus gallery will play it back
in the format that you defined in the
file name I hope you enjoyed thanks for
watching
