Hey all,

I just found this awesome new virtual movie theater demo. I'm not the developer, but he's already made the demo available on his site, though its all in Korean! I don't speak/read Korean, so I used Google translate to read the docs. Here's links to his site and demo:

Site:
http://uxground.com/

Demo:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6-3MLD_Wbqea1lNWTVDQ3dybUE/edit




From what I gather, the only way to play a file is if it's an .avi file called 'movie' placed in the same folder as the app. Obviously this is rather limiting, but hopefully he's working on a fix. Right-click brings up a menu where u can pick any seat in the theater, as well as choose to play 2D or 3D (SBS) content! Works really well, and the theater looks great. He's even got the light coming from the projector if u turn around. 360 controller moves u around, but doesn't seem to bring up the menu or ability to sit down.

Looks like he's also working on a (free!) horror game called "Nine Stones". Haven't seen either of these mentioned in these threads so I thought I'd share my findings. Enjoy!

Why move or copy gigabyte files to change reel? 😉 Employ Symbolic Links here, people. 🙂

ERASE "C:\VR Cinema\movie.avi"
MKLINK "C:\VR Cinema\movie.avi" "X:\IS_TROPICAL_-_Dancing_Anymore_NEW_SINGLE.mp4"

More polished than ffdshow at playback are LAV Filters and they are really the minimum you need, except its decoders don't seem to have priority on my system, even when they get installed with the CCCP, though easily solved with Win7DSFilterTweaker.

There are a number of ways to get AviSynth scripts (!) loaded through VR Cinema. Easiest and most efficient is to install everything (such as any dirty codec packs) by way of Sandboxie, then apply this registry hack, in a Sandbox, I stress. Sandboxie's virtual registry has lax permissions too which let you easily apply this hack.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AVIFile\Extensions\AVI]
@="{E6D6B700-124D-11D4-86F3-DB80AFD98778}"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\Media Type\Extensions\.avi]
"Source Filter"="{D3588AB0-0781-11CE-B03A-0020AF0BA770}"
@=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Media Type\Extensions\.avi]
"Source Filter"="{D3588AB0-0781-11CE-B03A-0020AF0BA770}"
@=""


Why AviSynth? You're the projectionist! Open up a virtual cinema of possibilities! Countless effects, sources, plugins, etc.

String together pre-show erm previews and whatnot!

Realtime 2D to 3D conversion? Why not! Exploit the Pulfrich effect. Very nice...

video2d=DirectShowSource("X:\IS_TROPICAL_-_Dancing_Anymore_NEW_SINGLE.mp4")

# Great speed benefits to be had from Avisynth 2.6 MT replacement dll and correct usage
#SetMemoryMax(512)
#SetMTMode(2,0)

## Convert to RGB32 to avoid the width restrictions
video2d=ConvertToRGB32(video2d)


# My script addition follows.
# The 3D formatting for VR Cinema.

# Letterbox to 16:9 for later anamorphic resize for Half SBS
matteA=16.0/9.0
videoW=width(video2d)
videoH=height(video2d)
matteW=videoH*matteA
matteH=videoW/matteA
matteW=int(matteW>videoW?(matteW-videoW)/2:0)
matteH=int(matteH>videoH?(matteH-videoH)/2:0)
video2d=video2d.AddBorders(matteW,matteH,matteW,matteH,color=$000000)


## Actual 2D to 3D conversion OMITTED (not my script) ##
## See more at: http://3dvision-blog.com/1220-2d-to-3d-realtime-video-conversion-script-for-avisynth-v0-3/


# Final stage processing, however, a choice of three:

## LR
StackHorizontal(frameL,frameR)

## RL
#StackHorizontal(frameR,frameL)

## Output the two video frames in a Above/Below format (like Sony?)
#StackVertical(frameL,frameR)


# And finally, the all-important anamorphic squeeze
Lanczos4Resize(512,288)
#Lanczos4Resize(640,360)
#Lanczos4Resize(768,432)
#Lanczos4Resize(1280,720)
#Lanczos4Resize(1920,1080)


# VR Cinema appears to accept only RGB24 RGB32 YUY2, else it's one more reason you'll get a white cinema screen.
#ConvertToRGB() # RGB24 || RGB32
#ConvertToRGB24()
#ConvertToRGB32()
ConvertToYUY2()

This is pretty amazing. One question though, is it normal to have significant ghosting on the video that is playing? In some movies it's so bad it's basically unwatchable.

I made an application that automates this process, check page 12 🙂

I saw a Cinema 3d app that has multiplayer support.
This would be wonderfull to implement into this app !
And if so.. would be cool to have the server stream to the clients.


And please have an option to remove the annoying light reflection on the floor. Really puts me off.
Im using a old version because of this very problem.

Like many others I'm having the white screen issue.
Klite pack installed and known extensions are not hidden.
My files play in media player fine but not in vr cinema.
If it's a codec issue, wouldn't they not play in mediaplayer also???

*edit these were originally 3d sbs .mkv files.
I was able to get a few 2d .avi files to play.

For everyone having the white screen issue here's how I got the movies to play.
Download and install Next Video Converter
http://www.nextvideosoft.com/next-video-converter-free.html

Open video converter and load your video file and select .AVI
Under settings change the video codec to xvid and the audio codec to mp3
Set where you want your new file to go and run the program.
Rename the new video to movie.avi and put it in your vrcinema directory.
Enjoy

I did this with a .mkv file but I would anticipate it working with any file.
I would even say if you have an .avi file that wont work correctly, use this method to get it working.
