How to watch 3D Blu-ray on Oculus Rift

With 3D display and tilt sensors, Oculus Rift VR headset is not only designed for gaming, but also be used for movies as well. Step into Rift and watch an immersive VR movie, jump to a destination on the other side of the world. The screen looks huge and so do the pixels. Since now VR sources are so limited, and in 2016 it's not legally buy and download 3D movies in any resolution, then is it possible to watch your purchased 3D Blu-ray with Oculus Rift (including the latest development kit for the Oculus Rift- DK2) while lying in soft sofa for a true theater entertainment instead of going to cinema? 

 

Of course Yes! To play 3D Blu-ray on Oculus Rift without limitations, many users are looking for VR players to make Rift (DK2) to afford 3D Blu-ray movies. However, as far as I know, most vr player apps can only play side by side or top-bottom video, while most Blu-rays are in the "frame packed" format. Worse still, Oculus Rift doesn't support Blu-ray drive attaching. 

In this case, if you wanna enjoy 3D Blu-ray movie on Oculus Rift freely, you'd better find a 3D Blu-ray ripping tool to help you convert a frame packed Blu-ray to a SBS/TB which are supported by Oculus Rift natively. In the market, 3D video converter software programs vary, so you might be confused when you have to choose one.

How to rip 3D Blu-ray movie for Oculus Rift 

One: Insert your 3D Blu-ray disc into your BD drive, run the 3D Blu-ray ripping software and click "Add Blu-ray" icon to load your movies. 

Tip 1: The Blu-ray to Rift Converter allows you to select desired audio tracks from source Blu-ray movies. You can achieve the selections via opening the drop-down boxes of "Audio tracks" in each loaded Blu-ray file. 

 

Two: Go to the Format bar and follow the path "VR > Oculus Rift" for ripping 3D Blu-ray to H.264 MP4 video. This Blu-ray ripper for rift offers preset specific profiles for easy and direct Blu-ray to Oculus Rift conversion. 

Tip 2: If you like, you can go to "Settings" page to adjust codec, aspect ratio, bitrate, frame rate, sample rate and audio channel as you like. For ripping 3D Blu-ray to view on Oculus Rift (DK2), the created 3D videos for the Cinema app should be in 720p (1280*720) with a higher bitrate around 5mbit/s. Higher resolutions for the specific format doesn't make the quality better but are a waste of power and battery life. 

 

Three: After you have set output format, you could even click "Edit" button to open the Video Editor Window. As you see, you can turn to "3D" tab and choose "Left-Right" or "Top-Bottom" 3D mode.
