Three Major Reasons to Convert iTunes Purchased or Rented Movies to Samsung Android Phones/Tablets

1.     Movies in iTunes store are available for rental or purchase, with a price tag ranging from $2.99 to $14.99. By converting iTunes movies to Android device, the problem of unnecessary waste of money on the movies you've paid can be solved once and for all.

2.     The iTunes rentals or purchased movies have their time expiration. To be specific, you have 24 hours only to finish watching the movie after hitting the play and it will expire in 30 days and disappear even if you purchased the movie from iTunes store. So if you want to play it on your Android anytime, you will need to convert iTunes movies to Android compatible format beforehand.

3.     Music videos, TV shows and movies in iTunes store are usually saved in M4V formats that are opposite to Android. This is also one major factor causing iTunes movie playback problem on Android. But such limitation can be resolved via a program with ability to convert iTunes movies to a format playable on Android phones or tablets.

Let’s Start: Convert MKV files to play with Gear VR Innovator Edition in Oculus Cinema

Step 1. Add video files to the 3D MKV/MP4 Converter

You are provided three methods to add files for the 2D to 3D MKV task:
a. Directly drag & drop 2D video in any format to the 2D to 3D MKV converter
b. Head to “Convert” then choose “Add Files”
c. Click the “Add Files” button in this app’s pane

Note: Although there is a profile created by the application, we can always change some parameters of resolution, compression, audio, etc. An important issue that you must consider that in Samsung Gear VR resolution for each eye is not FullHD but half the QHD screen. So you can free change your target video size, bitrate, frame rate and 3D depth in “Settings”. If you want to get best video quality, pls switch them to “original”. 3D movies should be encoded “full side-by-side” with a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio. Content mastered at 1920×1080 compressed side­-by-­side 3D should be resampled to 1920×540 resolution full side­-by­-side resolution (Learn more). 

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. 

Step 3. Start converting MKV files 

Click the "Start conversion" button at the bottom-right corner of the interface to convert the MKV to Gear VR Innovator Edition/Oculus Cinema . This Video Converter will finish the MKV conversion in just a few minutes. After the conversion, click "Open Folder" icon to locate the converted video files.

If I purchase the Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition, does it include a controller?

Where is the Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition available?

For exact timing and updates on availability, please check the Samsung website at http://www.samsung.com.

How much does the Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition cost?

  • This price does not include the mobile phone which is required.
Once I have the Samsung phone (Galaxy Note 4 or Galaxy S6) and the Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition hardware, will I need to install any additional software on my phone?

After docking your phone into the headset for the first time, you will be prompted to make sure that you are connected to Wi-Fi as you will need to update to your phone's firmware (if you haven't already received the required update from your phone's cellular service carrier) and download the Oculus Homesoftware.

Why do I have to sign up for an "Oculus ID" before using my Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition and what exactly is it?

Your Oculus ID is your account that you'll use to download VR content to your Samsung Galaxy Note 4 or Galaxy S6 phone through the Oculus Home application in either the 2D mode while undocked, or 3D while docked in your Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition headset.
  • It will also be your account that you'll use to login to the official Oculus forums.

  • The focus dial located on the top of the headset can be used to adjust the image for nearsighted individuals.
I'm noticing that the lenses inside of the Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition are fogging when using the headset. Is this normal?

While using the headset, you may temporarily notice fogging of the lenses due to the temperature difference between your face and the inside of the headset. Also, if the headset is too tight on your face, it can lead to additional fogging.
  • Once the temperature normalizes inside of the headset, which can take a few minutes, the lenses should no longer fog.
The Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition doesn't fit well when I put it on, especially around my nose area. Am I doing something wrong?

There are a number of straps on the headset that can be adjusted for comfort. If you are experiencing discomfort in the nose area, tightening the strap that goes over the top of your head will remove the pressure from the bridge of your nose and move the side straps up from your ears.
  • Tightening too much, however, will shift the weight of the headset on your head. The side straps will adjust the tightness of the headset and foam on your face.

For the Samsung Galaxy S6: The Gear VR headset designed for the Samsung S6 includes an external power port for preventing the Galaxy S6's battery from draining (this will not actually charge your phone).
  • You will need to power it with a Samsung-made cable, though, like the one that comes with the Galaxy S6.
For the Samsung Galaxy Note 4: As the headset uses the Micro USB port to communicate with the phone, you will be unable to plug in a charging cable. Please make sure that you have charged your phone before using the Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition for longer periods of time.

  • Samsung and Oculus cannot be held responsible for any additional costs incurred if data plan limits are exceeded due to the download of content or usage of your Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition.
