Is there a way to view 3D BluRays on the PSVR2?

[digitalfreak101]

I was a bit upset that Sony is not supporting it on PS5 but my hope is to get it running on my Windows PC. But how do I set it up? I have at least a Bluray drive in my PC but what software do I need and how to I get it using these SteamVR thing?

I'm not actively using it, but maybe it will work

As far as i know there are no bluray 3d vr apps as the only types of 3d video that vr media players currently support are side by side (SBS) and top bottom or sometimes referred to as over under format, the poster above me suggested that you can try bigscreen, but as i just mentioned it will only play the formats i just listed.

I suggest finding some website that lets you download SBS/OU 3d video files as like is mentioned 3d blurays will not work in vr, the only way for those to work is to use either a 3d capable monitor or projector and have a appropriate 3d pc player like potplayer or the now old a defunct powerdvd 19, as the type of 3d that blurays use is different as it is usually the 3d type known as frame packed which require powered glasses to view them.

The formats i suggested you find will work in vr with majority of vr media players such as Bigscreen, DEO video player, even the mutli use tool know as virtual desktop has these options plus virtual desktop also has the old anaglyph type for the old red/blue glasses type.

It is surprisingly difficult to get even owned 3D Blu Rays to work at all in VR headsets. I did a lot of research into this for my Quest 3 and the old way to get this to work was to rip and then extensively convert the (very large) files. A massive hassle. However, I eventually found a newish app in Quest's app lab called 4XVR Video Player. It is a paid for app, but it manages to play just standard ripped Blu Ray files from your collection in 3D without any of the huge pain of converting stuff.

However, what I do not know is how one might go about using that app in the PSVR2 via a PC. It seems to be a Quest app only, so not even sure it would be possible through Revive. I would love to find out if that is an option somehow! And if that's not currently possible, maybe the devs will also bring their app to Steam instead...

The Big Screen app sucks. The best VR player I use is HereSphere VR Player. You can change the video settings to Side by Side 3D and change the viewing perspective

But do you see the difference that one is free and the other is paid and quite expensive?
There are a lot of free players out there, and most have drawbacks.

Big Screen - It is a good compromise for a non-advanced user.
Is it the best among the free ones, not for me.
Can it compete with many paid ones, in my opinion yes.

Can I recommend a paid one with a clear conscience - no, but maybe someone else can.

I've tried them all over the last 2 years and they all suck.

Paying for HereSphere was absolutely worth it. I probably have over 200 hours logged on steam.

I use a player from outside steam. But this is not a solution for the typical steam user.

The workflow someone told me was use a program to back the disc. Not getting into that.

Then B3D2MK3D to make that a 3D MKV in the 3D format of your choice (side to side, top and bottom, etc).

Then something like Whirlygig should work, likely in theater mode.

I haven't tried it yet, sort of a backlog task.

For now I have a working solution to directly watch from a 3D BluRay without the need to reencode the movie.
I found some page that suggested the K-Lite Codec Pack. There is a version that includes madVR and Media Player Classic. I installed these and did some configuration and now the Media Player is playing the 3D BluRay in OverUnder view.
Now the VR stuff. I tried Bigscreen first and this is very bad. You won't get a smooth viewing expirience it lags and stutters as hell.

So my solution for now is Virtual Desktop. It is very easy to use and it has no lags at all.

I will also try HereSphere but I think I already have my solution with Virtual Desktop and its only have the price of HereSphere.
