In fact, 3D MKV files in 3D SBS(Side-by-Side) work on Rift CV1, but the audio has to be encoded in AAC or MP3 for stereo. AC3 and DTS were removed because of high licensing costs. You can either wait till a developer brings a Rift CV1 VR player which supports also custom codecs or you can convert your video files to ACC audio or root your phone and add codecs for AC3/DTS. However, the easy and effective solution is to re-encode your 3D MKV files to Rift CV1 more compatible format to get them play nicely.  Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac  is the bee's knees, which can help you easily solve the 3D MKV

Best of all, this software allows you to convert 3D MKV to 3D videos such as MKV Top-bottom 3D Video, MP4 Top-bottom 3D Video, MP4 Side-by-Side 3D video (See The Differences Between SBS 3D, Anaglyph 3D and Top/Bottom 3D ) , which can be played on Rift CV1 perfectly.

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 
Rift CV1, follow these steps:

2. Create a new folder within "Your Movies" and label it "3D"
3. Import or move your SBS 
3D MKV movies into your newly created "3D" folder

Once you have created your 
3D MKV movies and imported compatible video files, insert your MicroSD card into your phone (if it isn't already), slide the phone in your Rift CV1, and put the virtual reality headset on your head. Then:

1. Navigate to 
Rift CV1 from the main menu
2. Navigate to "My Videos" from the 
Rift CV1 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

Rip and copy DVD to VLC on Mac OS X

How to rip and copy DVD to VLC on Mac OS X is an everlasting and hot issue in all relevant digital copy, video conversion forums and bulletins. Backing up DVD to VLC means that you can enjoy your favorite DVD videos on computer conveniently and can protect your physical DVD disc from scratching. That’s why many people choose to transfer DVD to VLC on Mac OS X. Here, this article will show you two methods to play DVD on VLC: Method one, rip DVD with VLC on Mac OS X; Method two, copy DVD to VLC with VLC Alternative on Mac OS X.

Method one: How to rip DVD with VLC Media Player on Mac OS X El Capitan?

VLC is not just a media player. It allows you to rip your DVD as well. Here we will show you how to rip DVD movies with VLC. (Note : This tutorial is written for VLC 0.9.6 and up).
Step 1: Start up VLC on Mac and load up DVD video. Under “Media”, click on “Convert/Save”
Step 2: When Open Media window appears, click DVD tab and browse the Disc device to make sure the field is pointing to the optical drive. Then navigate to “Convert/Save’

Step 3: Next the Convert screen opens where you can select a location for the ripped file.



Step 4: Give the file a name and a supported extension. For this example we ripped Lord of the Rings and gave it a MOV extension. If you don’t label it with a supported file extension it will default to .ps (Program Stream) file.

Step 5: When all settings are done, the Convert screen will look something like this where we have the source drive and destination file with appropriate extension.

Finally, You should be able to play the converted file with other media players assuming you have the right codec.

Using VLC to rip DVD on Mac OS X takes too much time. And you will notice the converted movie in lower quality compared to the original. Also, VLC does not support the DVD with internal encryption so that it can’t recognize protected DVD well and fail to extract movies from DVD successfully. In this case, you have to turn your eyes to VLC Alternative to solve the problem.

Method two: How to copy DVD to VLC with VLC Alternative on Mac OS X El Capitan?

Pavtube DVDAid for Mac is recommended as VLC Altenative, which can 1:1 backup DVD protected without lossless quality. It enables you to rip DVD to VLC on Mac OS X El Capitan in H.265, M3U8,VOB, MP4, MKV, MOV, AVI, DivX, etc, at fast speed. Not like VLC, it continuously upgrades with new decryption technology for new released DVD. And it can support the newest Mac OS X system, like El Capitan, Yosemite 10.10/10.9.

Free Download and Install DVD Ripper for Mac OS X El Capitan

 

How to rip DVD to VOB for VLC on Mac OS X El Capitan


Step 1. Import DVD to the app

Run Pavtube DVDAid on your Mac, and load your DVD disc by clicking the “File” icon and this process only takes you a few seconds.

Step 2. Copy DVD main movie

Click the format bar to follow “Copy” and “Directly copy”. Directly copy allows you to copy the main movie from your DVD disc without extras. If you want your converted DVD supported by more devices, take a try with other popular video formats suitable for your device. Please kindly note that Pavtube trial version only supports 6-time directly copy.

Step 3.Start DVD to VOB conversion

Click the red button “Convert” on the main interface to start conversion from DVD to VLC on Mac OS X El Capitan. It will pop up a conversion window indicating the conversion progress from DVD to VOB.
Both of the two method can achieve the process of DVD to VLC on Mac OS X El Capitan. Nevertheless, the latter method obviously is easier than the former one. and it has much faster DVD ripping speed than DVD ripping with VLC. What’s the most important, ripping DVD to VLC on Mac OS X El Capitan with VLC Alternative can reserve the original video quality. Now, you can smoothly enjoy DVD on VLC.
In addition: With Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac, you can backup DVD to multi-track MKV for VLC on Mac OS X El Capitan with subtitles and audio tracks well preserved.

Tricks for Downsizing GoPro Hero 4K Video to 1080p

Summary: Are you troubled with how to downsize GoPro Hero 4K video to 1080p for playback and editing? Sometimes, 4K video can’t be played properly most likely your computer is not able to process the data of the large HD files fast enough. Check out the tips below.

 

Hot search: GoPro Hero 4K video to DropBox | GoPro Hero 4K video to Sony Movie Studio | GoPro Hero 4K video to Vimeo | GoPro Hero 4K video to VLC | GoPro Hero 4K video to Pinnacle Studio 

We know that GoPro Hero cameras can capture professional-quality videos, for example Hero3 White can capture 1080p 30fps video, Hero3+ Silver can capture gorgeous 1080p 60fps video, Hero4 can take time lapse videos with high data rates, Hero4 Black can shoot incredible high-resolution 4K 30fps and 2.7K 60fps video and the high frame rate 1080p 120fps video. 

What is the difference between 1080p and 4K resolution? 
A High Definition TV with 1080p resolution is composed of two million pixels (1920*1080), while a 4K TV (aka Ultra High Definition) has over eight million pixels (3840*2160). Therefore, 4K has around four times more resolution than 1080p and produces a clearer picture. 

As we know, the majority of playback, editing work is still being finished in 1080p. In most cases, we still need to downscale most of the 4K video files to 1080p. In fact, you may not see any real differences if you're not doing much to the footage. One of the huge benefits to 4K, that you can do a lot to the image and retain detail for a beautiful 1080p finish. For those who wanna play and edit GoPro Hero 4K videos on old computer (playing a 4K video requires more computing power and it could be more time consuming), we suggest you to convert all GoPro Hero 4K videos to 1080p then play in 1080p and smart-render. 

Best solutions to downscale GoPro Hero 4K video to 1080p: 
Although there are numbered tools and utilities can convert and compress the ultra HD videos, few of them can process at a fast speed.
