where do i get 3d films from?

[Good Old Gamer]

ok so what i am asking is where to get legal 3d movies from to watch in vr etc? obviously this does not come with them lol

also heard this has issues viewing/converting files and nextflix and youtube etc - or has that been fixed

[martinmartyzzz]

There is some pretty good 3D content on youtube. Just make sure it is SBS or OU and set Bigscreen accordingly. Also make sure you put it in full-screen mode. AFAIK other 3D content you may have must be converted to SBS or OU and I have no idea how. I don't know what your last sentence refers to. Generally it works fine with anything that will display on your PC monitor except when prevented by copy protection mechanisms such as in netflix.

basically i was reading reviews via rift store and the last sentance referrs to most of those reviews say that its useless because you have to convert your own files/rip[ movies and make sbs etc and that the youtube intergration doesn't work at all blah blah lol

When you buy a blu-ray some of them come with a digital code so you can watch it on your computer with out the disc... So if you buy a movie look on the package to see if it has a digital code.

Another way is to just buy a digital copy of the movie online. I think Oculus also has a place to buy or rent movies into your device, that won't work for big screen though cause you can't play movies off your device.

You can also check out Bigscreen Cinema where you can buy tickets to watch 3D movies in Bigscreen! https://www.reddit.com/r/bigscreen/comments/ebhkbt/introducing_bigscreen_cinema_in_partnership_with/

so BIGSCREEN is BIGSCREEN CINEMA or are the different?

[Peregrine]

Bigscreen Cinema is a component of Bigscreen. You can think of Bigscreen as having 3 parts.

You've got regular Bigscreen where you have user created rooms, where you can use whatever environment you want, and play whatever shows, games, or movies you want on the screen.

Then we have Bigscreen TV where you can join pre-setup rooms that are open all the time, and watch content streamed from sources like Pluto.TV and Twitch.

And then there's the upcoming Bigscreen Cinema, which is like TV, but for paid movie experiences.

ok cool... and have you got rid of the region locks?

another few revies said they couldn't watch the lobbies because the region locks (but then i did look at quite a few vr tv things so it might not be yours lol)

[Peregrine]

What's a revies?

Some movies are restricted by region. While we'd love to have everything available everywhere, licensing is complex, and we're restricted to what we can get licences for, and what the studio has permission for.

ahh yes i just finally read the reddit page you linked lol, thanks... as a final thought i keep getting **internal error** when trying to log in through steam via the ticket sales link in the reddit

apart from that i guess the matter is solved, thank you Peregrine

Yeah but I don't think of trailers as ads, they're just as much fun as watching the movie imo, but commercials for JP Wentworth isn't fun at all, no shade to Pluto TV, I love what they do too

Youtube has some 3D content. Also there is still movies being sold with 3D options.
If you actually want to invest in some 3D movies, make sure you go for the ones that were made with 3D in mind and not just added id on top of the movie to make some cash.

Top Gun for example isnt a 3D movie but they did a little conversion, the effects there arent noticeable most of the time(but trust me, there is a difference).
Now, watch a 3D movie that was made like that since scratch and you will feel the effects right away

This website https://www.3donlinefilms.com/ has more than 450 3D movies, some natives, some 2D to 3D conversions. They work with a 5 USD subscription monthly basis. You can watch them with BigScreen and navigating to the website in desktop mode and selecting 3D SBS when playing.

Comment on a 5 year old thread?

This sounds like it does not meet the bigscreen terms of service.

I admire the idea to bring more people to the joys of VR movies but surely the legal way is to buy a Blueray disc and do the conversion yourself (or watch in another persons room who has and is hosting in Bigscreen)? I may have torrented media in my life but never charging money and advertising it over the internet.


EDIT: You do have a very organized and useful list of 3D movies from 1915 to Now for people looking to build a collection of legally obtained media. I've been thinking about starting a collection and converting Blueray to SBS. It can be hard to find which videos are good quality 3d. Thank you.
