Hello,

I have a sbs video 1280x720 60 fps.

When I watch it in the oculus cinema for samsung gear vr it is enlarged in the x axis.

I need to know at which resolution should I encode it.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks a lot.

    We recommend using 1280x720 HD resolution to encode your videos. Higher resolutions will not provide any better quality, meaning you'll waste space and processing power.

    We also recommend using a higher bit rate than a typical web stream at that resolution, as the pixels in your video will be magnified on the phone's screen. The optimal bit rate is content dependent, and many videos can get by with less, but 5 Mb/s should give good quality.

    While H.264 is the recommended video coding, H.265 videos can also be played.

    3D movies should be encoded “full side-by-side” with a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio. Content mastered at 1920x1080 compressed side­-by-­side 3D should be resampled to 1920x540 resolution full side­-by­-side resolution.

    Hello FrozenPea,

    I have readed your post.

    What I understand is that my sbs video is 640x720 for each eye.

    I do not understand that if you have 1920x1080 side by side should be resampled to 1920x540.

    Should it be 1920/2 x 1080?

    Sorry for my really really novice questions, but I am not a video expert, so I am a little bit lost.

    Thanks a lot,
