Presently lots of users prefer to download high definition videos from internet. Most of them are in MKV format. MKV is a flexible, open standard video file format which can store alternate audio tracks, multilingual subtitles and chapter points, as well as rich metadata authoring (including cover art, ratings, and descriptions) in one single file. This feature makes you play and watch MKV just as enjoy Blu-rays.

It supports a wide range of media formats including MKV files in 2D or 3D SBS(Side-by-Side) work on Gear VR, but the audio has to be encoded in AAC or MP3 for stereo. AC3 audio and DTS Dolby don't seem to work and this is why you often play MKV files on Gear VR with no sound found. In order to watch MKV on Gear VR with Galaxy Note 4, you just need a right program and convert MKV to 3D MP4 for smoothly playing on Gear VR via Galaxy Note 4.

Tip: Click Settings to adjust the parameters like video codec, video bitrate, video frame rate, audio sample rate, audio channel. 1920x1080 compressed side-by-side 3D should be resampled to 1920x540 resolution full side-by-side resolution.

2. Create a new folder in "Your Movies" and label it "3D"

3. Move your SBS 3D videos into your newly created "3D" folder

Once you have created your 3D content folder and imported compatible video files, insert your MicroSD card into your Galaxy Note 4, pair up the phone with your Gear VR, and put the virtual reality headset on your head. Then:

1. Navigate to Oculus Cinema from the main menu

2. Navigate to "My Videos" from the Oculus Cinema content library menu
