Can any video be viewed in virtual reality like Oculus Rift

There are already a number of apps out there both for the 3D VR Glasses/Headsets such as Oculus Rift and for Google Cardboard-style devices which can play a movie in a "virtual theater."

Basically, it puts you into a seat in front of a giant movie screen. This is particularly useful if you want to watch a movie on your cell phone. 

Next, if you have a movie that's been filmed in 360 degrees, the YouTube app for Android will automatically convert it into immersive, side-by-side virtual reality view. (iPhone support is reportedly coming... eventually).

If you have a movie that's been filmed in regular old 3D, you can also watch it with a headset, but it won't be immersive -- you won't feel as though you're in the middle of it. At best, you'll feel as though you're sitting in a theater wearing 3D glasses, watching a 3D movie.

There are tools to emulate 3D perspective from 2D movies, but have very low expectations. It gets very uncomfortable and most of the times it gets the depth incorrectly. A 2D movie simply doesn't have enough information to have a software guess what's the right depth and since you don't know what's behind an object, even when it guesses the depth correctly, it won't look natural.

Play any video files on Oculus Rift with 3D effect

To watch any incompatible file formats such as AVCHD, MXF, Tivo, etc video files on Oculus Rift in 3D effect, you will need to convert these file formats to 3D SBS. Pavtube Video Converter / Mac Version, a comprehensive tool that's capable of converting various media files to 3D SBS format to watch on Oculus Rift and also other Virtual Reality devices including Samsung Gear VRZeiss VR One, etc.

Free download the Trail version and have a try, it is 100% clean and safe:

    

Step by step to convert any video to Oculus Rift 3D formats

Download and install Pavtube Video Converter on your computer or Mac (compatible with Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 and lower versions / Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan, 10.10 Yosemite, 10.9 Mavericks, 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.7 Lion, 10.6 Snow Leopard, 10.5 Leopard and lower versions). Run this program immediately. We choose the windows version as the guide, Mac version as the same in the steps.

Step 1: Import video.

Import the video files to this program by click "File" menu and select "Add Video/Audio" or "Add from folder". Or you can directly drag and drop the files to the program interface.



Step 2: Output Oculus Rift compatible 3d format.

Tap on "Format" bar and find "3D Video", there are a lot of format options for you. You can choose the output 3D format according to your phone, here "MP4 Side-by-Side 3D Video (*.mp4)" is recommended.

Decrypt and remove commercials from Tivo recording for playback on Windows/Mac

       A Tivo Converter Customer Review From Pavtube:
I have recorded an entire season of favorite TV plays via Tivo box and it have the commercials on it with Tivo. How can I skip them? TiVo DVRs do not offer a commercial skip feature. It’s totally understandable as the commercial is a part of the source signal; but it troubles me a lot when playback the recorded TV plays: I have to pause and skip the ads manually. I used to be fine with that but now my daughter grows up and she’s fond of this: every time when it comes to ads she will cry. I’m totally not computer-savvy but have to look for a good solution.
It’s widely accepted that TV recordings from Tivo box are protected; we cannot edit or change it nor remove the ads within that context. After spending several days browsing the websites, finally I get this Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate to work. It’s very easy to convert tivo files and you don’t need to change any specs; also the ads trimming is quite simple. Moreover, I also convert and copy many Disney Blu-ray movies to my Nabi 2 android tablet, my daughter can watch these movie on Nabi 2 when I'm busying in my yard.
Note: If you only have a Mac, the Mac version is more suitable
My workflow: Decrypt and remove commercials from Tivo recordings for different purposes on my computer
1. Install and launch this Tivo Converter; drag and drop Tivo recordings to it. Or you can click the small “plus” icon to load Tivo recordings. Pls note the first disc-like icon is to load discs – yes this tool also support converting Blu-rays and DVDs. 
2. Submit Tivo Key. 
This Tivo Converter requires your Tivo key to play the recordings. (Tips: How To Find Tivo Media Access Key) 
Right after you drag the media files to this program, it will pop up a window asking for the key; see this screenshot: 
Enter it and import the media files again; it will remember your key automatically so that we don’t need to set it any more. 
3. Remove commercials from Tivo recordings. 
Now back to the main interface; hit the pencil-like icon on the top to enter the video editor. It’s on “Trim” mode by default. Drag the two small triangles on the progress bar, you can customize the start/end point. 
Or you can submit the start and end timing on the below.
Hit “OK”. 
4. Choose format and convert. 
Find the “Format” drop-down list, there’re many presets for different using. As my only need is to watch on computer and Nabi 2 tablet, the MP4 format is most common so I chose it. Then hit the big “Convert” to start converting Tivo recording or Disney Blu-ray movie to MP4 on computer. After it completed, click “Open output folder” to get converted videos and save it to my drive for playback.

The most amazing feature of Samsung NX500 is its recordings adopt 4K technology. And the 4K recordings are encoded as H.265 codec which is very good at storing and transferring 4K image. Although when you are trying to editing Samsung NX500 4K recordings in iMovie on Mac El Capitan, you will find that iMovie doesn’t recognize them. After I did a search, I found out the reason. From the Apple Official Forum, we can know the reason is iMovie doesn’t support H.265 Codec. 

In order to satisfy yourself with the editing experience of Samsung NX500 H.265 4K videos, I would suggest you to transcode H.265 videos to Apple Intermediate Codec which is the most compatible codec for iMovie. Here I recommend Pavtube Video Converter for Mac to help you edit Samsung NX500 H.265 4K videos in iMovie. This App is an all-in-one video converter. It can not only convert Samsung NX500 H.265 4K videos to Apple Intermediate Codec for iMovie, but also convert H.265 4K videos to MPEG-2 format for Premiere Pro. Besides, the built-in video editor allows you to edit your videos by trimming, cropping, adjusting video effects and more.

What Should I Get Her(TV girly) for Christmas?

Summary: Christmas is coming, do you still worry about to choose a good present for her, here we give the gift for you to enjoy her.

If you want to be a good (or better) influence in her life, I would recommend taking her on outings with you-- day trips to a library, a zoo (as mentioned), an activity centre (like the YMCA for example-- you could attend a class, go for a swim), and lastly a department store, to get an idea of what she likes and has interest in, as well as provide exposure to more things/people/ideas she could develop an interest in.  You will get a better idea of what she wants for Christmas by asking her directly (and whether or not you decide to buy it for her will be up to you-- it may or may not be within your budget or appropriate-- that's a call only you can make), but you will get more clues about what she likes by going on these outings with her, and they will enhance both of your lives.

I'd take a new look at her interests instead of dismissing them. For example:

Someone who likes watching TV might have a desire and a talent for the performing arts. Maybe she could look into taking acting or singing or dancing lessons, and get involved in theatre productions. She could BE in shows instead of watching them. Learning how to get up in front of people and perform is a skill that translates into other fields as well. There are also other career avenues in the performing arts that are not performance related as well she could look at: cameraman, director, producer, sound production, makeup, etc.

Depending on your budget, you could ask her what she would like to do together, encourage her to try doing something new, as your Christmas gift to her. Now that she was interested in movies and TV, why not give her a gift enable she can be watch the TV shows and movies in any time and anywhere?

Here Pavtube give the special offer in the Christmas promotion, we pick Pavtube Video Converter / Mac Version as example, it is an easy-to use, functional video converter and video editor, enables you convert multiple audio and video sources to the desired audio/video format. This program allows you to convert video types such as SD videos, HD footages from camcorders and TiVo/DVR recordings to almost any audio/video format for free entertainment on mobile devices, HD media players, as well as free access to video editing software. 

You can also realize her movie director dream with the built-in video editor. Make personal video by trimming, cropping, adding text/image/video images, inserting SRT/ASS/SSA subtitle into source video, etc.

Don’t hesitate to get it as the Christmas gift for her, once you purchase you will get upgrades free for lifetime. The only thing you should remember is choose the right version from Windows version or Mac version.
