3D side by side HMV's

Hey guy’s! I’m putting together a library of HMV’s and PMV’s that I’m converting to 3D and upscaled if not 4K already or 60 FPS.


Edit (06DEC24): All work on this and the content made was lost. Currently looking into a way to recreate and recover. I’ve learned a lot and improved quality by a significant margin since 2021. I suppose it’ll be good to have a fresh start with the best quality.

Edit (08DEC24): I’ve figured out how to make the program’s I used on Windows with my Steam Deck using Steam’s Proton compatibility tool. I’ll be posting instructions on how to use those tool’s in the near future on a different post that will be linked here. I’ll also be posting examples of it’s work on this page. Once I got all that sorted out over the next couple days, I’ll be making a post about how which script players can be made to work with Linux using Proton as well.

I failed to mention in my last update that because I don’t have those other PC’s anymore that I’m using a Steam Deck as my main PC now. But now that I’ve figured things out with compatibility, that won’t be an issue. You’re gonna see some quality work from a hand held gaming device lol.

Thats an awesome Collection and the 3D stuff works also well on the Deo VR Video Player for me. That plays Scripts and can synch to the Handy as well.
Like the idea of 3D HMVs and would love to have all of the HMVs to the Scripts you got in the collection in 3D :smiley: and Scripts for the ones that have none if someone would be up for the task.
Sadly i dont know any other reliable way of file sharing for the othter Content.
A Community Mega would be cool but i have no idea if this could work etc.

Awesome stuff man! Would be nice to get all of it. Maybe you can put up another mega account for more content? :smiley:

For me the DeoVR doesnt work. Since you cannot stretch the image back to 16:9, I am stuck in this 8:9 ratio and the image is just not good enough.

Wow, great to hear you’re working on SBS gooning vids, and with scripts!? Looking forward to seeing them!!

Try going into the video player settings and turning on the fisheye lens it looks way better and also activate “switch eyes”

Thanks for advice but I took another aproach to this issue. I started making my own in 32:9 aspect ratio, so the image is as close to original as possible.

Here are few I remade earlier today (dont forget to import :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:):

I found the knowhow on reddit, but there is also a youtube tutorial on lower part of the post.

It’s quite tricky to setup, but once you have it all set up its quite easy. Only difference that I make is in Handbrake. Here I have custom preset that easily allows me, not to worry about resolution and framerate.

Right now I’m also rendering Abzero, so you can check it out in about an hour.
Edit: Nevermind I set something wrong and the rendered file is now 22GBs. Gotta do it again.

Let me know how it went :wink:

Make a mega and I’ll convert your upscale videos:)

Guys when I convert most of these I do it so it squeezes the video to half width. Would these be better at full width? I can very easily re convert these.

You are right it does look better in Whirligig, but some people would not want to buy it. About the width, I like when I dont have to do any unnecessary work, when watching the videos, so I convert them to full size (also the quality will be better). Also I found this forum post, where there is ton of mega links with videos you have already converted. You might want to check it out.

main issue is whirligig doesn’t support DLNA, that’s quite bad with Quest/Quest2

That site is like cancer trying to access. Tons of pop ups(at least on my phone).

I don’t mind that someone else has already converted these. I’m trying to make it organized and easier to access.

Additionally the benefit of half width vs full size is how wide that makes the video. With the video fully zoomed out in full size you can’t see the whole video at once. Like half the video is already in the corner of your eye.

So you’ll have to shrink them down to nearly half size anyway. Regardless you’ll need to mess with some sliders.

I can try and post a full sized video so you can see what I mean.

Try it on PC with adblocker. I didnt get single popup. They are not converted to 3D, just videos with scripts you might want to convert (I already did some).

By the way in what software do you make these ?

Mega does not care about loli content. you’d be fine uploading it there. please do!

Just a heads up to everyone. I deleted all the videos. I’ll be redoing them in full width size and with optimized settings. Once it’s complete I’ll repost them.
