Problems to create 3D SBS with Handbrake
Handbrake does not Remux MKV or MP4. REMUX: A rip of Blu-ray or HD DVD disk to another container format or just stripping the disc of menus and bonus material while keeping the contents of its audio and video streams intact, guaranteeing the exact 1:1 movie quality as on original disk.
“I’ve seen several people say you can rip 3D Blu-rays with MakeMKV and encode them with Handbrake to watch on the GearVR in 3D. I can get the MKV made (checking the box for the 3D stream) but I can’t figure out how to get a 3D format out of Handbrake when converting it. I put it in the 3D folder under my videos and it just plays half the screen on my left eye and half on my right eye. Anyway to do this with these programs? Need some help. Thanks.”

- Handbrake works just fine I do a fair amount of MKV to MP4 conversion and have found Handbrake to do an adequate job. Keep in mind most of the MKV files are large HD files that I am converting from Make MKV for Apple TV but tweaking the quality settings has provided very high quality (albeit somewhat large) MP4 files in my iTunes library.
