My problem is simple: I own an INSTA360 EVO, I record in VR180 (5760x2880, 30fps, 120Mb/s), and I want to watch these video on my Oculus Go in the best possible quality. These files have .insv extension. I can play these files directly in GO using INSTA360 app. But Oculus GO can not stand this resolution/bitrate. So you have jerky video, artifacts, blockiness, etc.
The standard software for converting INSV to MP4 is Insta360 Studio. This allow only to set resolution and bitrate. No other parameters. But I can do more sophisticated compression using Premiere PRO or FFMPEG alone.
This article seems to give precise and perfect indications for my problem, in reality the indications that I have found (and followed) are perfectly useless. Encoding a video with the suggested parameters produces anyway a jerky video with various artifacts here and there. Please not that *all* the produced video are *correct*, they play fine in a PC with enough power. So the artifacts are simply produced from Oculus GO when the video is too heavy for it.
I Have done a lot of tests, with all the encoders, and focusing on a 5120x2560 resolution (as suggested by the article) and changing bitrate. For playing in the GO, I use Oculus Video, or Skybox, or Play'a. The results are identical. The artifacts appear in the same moments.
A really strange thing is this: some video (for example a 5120x2560, 60Mb/s simply encoded with Insta360 Studio) is jerky if I play it from the Oculus Go internal memory, but plays PERFECT if I read it with Wifi/LAN from my PC on a SMB Share. This is really weird and someone at Oculus should check what's goin' on. (Or I have faulty memory??)
So I am looking for help, from someone that really works with these things, that own an Oculus Go and is encoding 3D 180 VR videos for it !!
Maybe you need to go to the Oculus Developer Forum.
