"I want to try watching a full movie in Gear VR. In particular there are a few 3D Blu-ray movies that I own that I never got to experience on the big screen that I’ve always had regret about. What program are you using to create 3D Blu-ray movies into Gear VR? PC or Mac? I only have a Mac computer. Every time I create them. It only plays in 2D. Any help would be much appreciated. It says 3D in top right corner of trailers and my videos but still plays in 2D. Please and thank you."
Samsung Gear VR (now at Innovator Edition) is a relatively affordable VR accessory; it creates a better-than-expected sense of immersion using a Note 4, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge as its screen and engine; apps, while limited, are all free. And now the question here is how to get your purchase 3D Blu-ray movies to your Samsung Gear VR with no efforts? Fortunately, a little searching turns up the solution. I’ve tried the way; it works. Now I will share the easiest way to copy and view 3D Blu-ray on Samsung Gear VR.
As we all know, Samsung Gear VR does not included a drive for playing 3D Blu-ray discs. In addition, it only supports a limited of video formats like MKV, MP4, AVI and FLV. When it comes to playing 3D videos, Samsung Gear VR requires either side-by-side or top-to-bottom (top down), but most Blu-rays are in the "frame packed" format, but most Blu-rays are in the “frame packed” format. So to get 3D Blu-ray to play with Gear VR, first you need to convert 3D Blu-ray to Gear VR supported file type. And if you stick with 3D movie on Gear VR, you can rip 3D Blu-ray to MP4/MKV in side-by-side or top-to-bottom 3D formats.

How to convert 3D Blu-ray to watch in Samsung Gear VR
Step 1. Import 3D Blu-ray movie
Launch the professional 3D Blu-ray to Gear VR converter. Click the button on top left corner to add 3D Blu-ray movie to it. Double click the video, you can preview the movie in the right side.
Step 2. Select output format
Click "Format" and select "MP4 Side-by-Side 3D Video (*.mp4)" from "3D Video" category as the output format. It works on Samsung Gear VR perfectly.
Tip: Click Settings to adjust the parameters like video codec, video bitrate, video frame rate, audio sample rate, audio channel. 1920x1080 compressed side-by-side 3D should be resampled to 1920x540 resolution full side-by-side resolution. And keep audio in AAC or MP3.
Step 3. Start to convert 3D Blu-ray to Gear VR
Click "Convert" button, 3D Blu-ray to Samsung Gear VR converter will start to work. Just be patient, it will not take you long time. After the conversion, place your video files into the folder named "My Videos" on your MicroSD card.
To watch your 3D videos, however, there is an additional step, and it's not entirely straightforward.
The following will allow for perfect 3D playback of videos set up in a SBS format. SBS format means the left and right video channels are contained within the same file and appears as a near-mirror image when played back using a standard media player. To view your SBS 3D video files on your Gear VR, follow these steps:
1. On your MicroSD card file directory, navigate to Oculus > Movies > Your Movies
2. Create a new folder within "Your Movies" and label it "3D"
3. Import or move your SB 3D videos into your newly created "3D" folder
Once you have created your 3D content folder and imported compatible video files, insert your MicroSD card into your Galaxy Note 4 (if it isn't already), slide the phone in your Gear VR, and put the virtual reality headset on your head. Then:
1. Navigate to Oculus Cinema from the main menu
2. Navigate to "My Videos" from the Oculus Cinema content library menu
3. Select the 3D video you wish to view (if you followed the above steps it should have a "3D" label in the upper righthand corner)
4. Choose the cinema mode to begin playback
