You'll get a reasonably good encode with those settings, at a reasonable file size, with fast encoding times, but you can definitely optimize further depending on your own assessment of the results, how much you're willing to chase diminishing returns, and how much time you're willing to wait for encodes to finish. I would recommend that you use Handbrake, and here's a basic profile that should provide a good starting point: Īnd I do mean starting point. With "safe" encoding settings your S6 should be able to manage although you'll need to use the Samsung VR player to pull that off. It sounds like you're talking about 180/360° clips here, so you want to keep as much resolution as you possibly can. I'm using a S6 Edge+ and AVS Video Converter (but I'm open to suggestions on software). I'd like to convert several Oculus 3840 × 1920 high bitrate (around 25k) 60fps videos to Gear VR compatible resolution 2880 x 1440 60fps, while keeping a fairly high bitrate (around 20k, similar to other high quality video sources I have). Ideas/thoughts/suggestions? Or if there is a guide or wiki somewhere that you could point me to I'd be grateful. Does anyone have any experience with doing this? Ideally I'd like to configure a preset so that I could just select a source file and click convert without having to mess too much with it.

I'd like to maintain as much video and audio quality as I can while making a video that plays smoothly and looks good on my Gear. (As of February 2020, it can be played in After Effects and GoPro VR Player.) 360 Tips and Tricks posted a video tutorial that shows how to download 360 videos from YouTube in standard equirectangular format, which is supported by almost all 360 video players: standard equirectangular format for 360 videos. It's still rendering so I haven't had a chance to check my work yet, but I'm sure I can create a file that looks just as good without being even bigger than the source. When I set up the conversion profile, the file output size nearly doubled, despite being a "downgrade" in terms of overall resolution and bitrate. I'd like to convert several Oculus 3840 × 1920 high bitrate (around 25k) 60fps videos to Gear VR compatible resolution 2880 x 1440 60fps, while keeping a fairly high bitrate (around 20k, similar to other high quality video sources I have).
