Uploading to Milk VR (Gear Indie Contest)

Anyone on this forum also submitting to Gear Indie Contest #1 (There in 60 Seconds)? https://milkvr.com/#/content/gear_indie_contest

This will be my first time uploading to MilkVR and as we won't have a lot of trial and error time, I'd love to hear anyone's advice on "best practices" for uploading to the site.

Our submission will be a top/bottom stereoscopic video (so 1:1 aspect ratio), and I'm particularly curious about how different formats and resolutions fare with MilkVR.

Supposedly, from their content guidelines, they accept mp4 and mov files, up to resolutions of 4096x4096 (for stereoscopic), which would be brilliant if true, though I'm not what codec to deliver such a large file in, nor whether it's worth it if MilkVR is just going to knock it down to a lower resolution.

Anyway, I'd love to get a dialogue going about this since the deadline is coming up soon (Dec. 1st) and I'm hoping that a lot of top-notch stuff starts showing up on the service from this. Rising tide and all that?

Use ffmpeg to create an h.265 video. Feel free to go higher than 4096x4096 if you want, but yes we will knock the resolution down some. Top bottom stereo can be selected from a drop down when you upload. Look forward to seeing hour Gear Indie content!
