- krackers 3y agoCorrect. Although it wouldn't surprise me if this _was_ locked into the apple ecosystem, it would be nice if it took advantage of existing open standards (whatever those may be).
- dagmx 3y agoThey’re just MV-HEVC http://hevc.info/mvhevc http://hevc.info/mvhevc with a specific profile which is published as well https://developer.apple.com/av-foundation/HEVC-Stereo-Video-Profile.pdf https://developer.apple.com/av-foundation/HEVC-Stereo-Video-... Any platform can implement playback of them.
- dylan604 3y agoI wonder if they'll have a way of converting to the old skool top/bottom for displaying on things like home TVs with 3D, or if they'll add update to AppleTV 4K for existing TVs. Next is having them as sources in an NLE. Lots of ways to do that now, but that's been for separate L/R sources or top/bottom type of files. It's been so long since I've had to deal with that, I've not kept up with what the current state is for that world. Maybe they've all been updated to handle mv-hevc too??
- dagmx 3y agoThere are folks who’ve written extractors for making SBS video from the mv-hevc streams but I haven’t seen a live playback conversion. I can’t imagine it’s difficult though if someone was motivated. I also haven’t seen an example of an NLE supporting it, but I imagine we’ll see some within 2024? I’m more curious about how they might support playback in various headsets since a Quest 3 is now a lot cheaper than a 3D display or projector.
