![]() If you end up buying a VR headset, just know it can do MORE than just VR/3D Porn.
You can play games (even Nintendo SNES/N64/Switch and Playstation 2-3 games, with emulators), get a load of FREE Apps from SideQuest (including fitness and other types of experiences), play your favorite PC games with the new Unreal option they recently released and much more. It's a great viable entertainment option. Sure, things like VR Porn are entertaining too. But, you probably don't want to wear an headset 24/7 only for that, LOL. As far As VR Porn goes, there's a huge market in Japan, ranging from Anime/Hentai to actual real scenes. And I heard those are shot in a much more professional way than some well-known studios in the Biz. I'm not into Japanese Porn (I like other things about Japan than the Porn), but If you want to check some scenes, you can find them online. For now, only Cz3chVR impressed me with their lesbian VR scenes. Other stuff like Gangbangs and other junk definitely put me off within minutes. Most gay stuff I ever saw in VR. Having a bunch of hanging penises sticking in front of your face, it's just not so "pretty" or HOT, unless you like men. And those productions are what ruin the experience for some, other than the poor camera work. It's easy to get a 360 GoPro and just film whatever floats in front of the camera, load the video on a PC, convert it for online distribution and call it a day. VR has potential. It's a shame that some of these studios care only about quantity than quality.

I found out today that (in the US) at Best Buy and Amazon have the 128 GB set marked down to $200.00. |

However, I heard you can also get deals on the Quest 3, 128 GB model. Target (US) gives them away for $350, instead of $500. At least that's what I heard from a owner who got one. Regardless of your use, if you can get a good deal on the Quest 3, you should probably get that, as i'm pretty sure Meta will soon out-phase the Quest 2, and it will probably not receive any more updates. The Quest 3 has the Pancake lenses that provide much better clarity and a higher FOV than those of the 2 (with less glare, godrays and SDE), other than also having a full-color passthrough mode and more sturdy controllers. It also has full 8K support out-of-the-box (which the Quest 2 doesn't), other than good built-in speakers with Spatial Audio and HDR support (through Apps). It gets better and better after every update. When I first got it, it was a buggy mess. Popping audio, blurry image, overheating problems and IPD settings not working correctly. But right now it's on V64 of the software, and most bugs are fixed/gone, other than also having a more efficient battery consumption and other new features (such viewing streaming VR content from Tube Sites, directly from the Quest Browser). Still, I use a 10.000mAh Powerbank for longer sessions. But when I first got it, the battery would only last 1 hour and a half. Now, since the last update, it last 2 and a half hours with moderate use. By all means, i'm not in the marketing team of Meta. But if you can get the 3, you will not regret it. It's a great piece of hardware. With new updates coming almost every month, there is still room to add more new cool features and improvements.

![]() Thanks for the tips regarding VR headsets. Both Meta Quest models look very promising indeed. The whole topic is still nearly absolute new territory for me though. I would in any case further read into it and maybe visit a local vendor before a buy.
But after another Google search, I finally found a portable open source program by coincidence, called VR2Normal that converts 3D VR videos to 2D (recently developed by a single engaged programmer as it seems, practically unknown till now and very low in Google's rankings). While navigating through the video's timeline one can freely change the view as often as needed and add new cuts. After that the program saves a regular 2D file with all the cuts respectively camera repositionings. The program additionally needs 3 FFMPEG binaries which can be downloaded from several sources, one source is linked on the homepage of the program. Well, VR2Normal is somewhat intimidating at first look (many windows, buttons, settings ...) but after following the step-by-step guide that's inside the program's zip file I was able to save a 2D version of a short 5 minute VR teaser video in less than an hour after having downloaded the program. Well, I only made about 7 cuts and repositioned the camera view quite hastily, just to test if the program works at all. But even with more cuts and a refined "camera work" the workload will be absolutely manageable. Once you know how the program works, the cuts and "camera rearrangements" are a matter of seconds each. Great software in my view. Here's the link: Code:

![]() I wasn't aware of that one, tbh.
Otherwise I would've recommended It over VideoStudio and the VLC + metadata injector workaround (which is great to preview a video). However, I found that if you already have a stereoscopic SBS 3D video (such a Blu-Ray 3D movie rip or any other SBS video), you can easily convert it to VR 180° for a much more immersive experience, if you wanna do that. I saw some 3D movie trailers converted to VR, and they looked outstanding. Things really pop out from the screen. I can only imagine that as the tech becomes more mainstream, movie directors and other creatives will probably test waters with VR. I'm sure Cameron will probably be the first director to toy with VR, maybe for Avatar 4 or 5. He already played with AI for his old movies 4K remasters, so I'm sure he will definitely play with VR, sometimes in the near future.

On the other hand, one easily finds many apps even for such likely impossible tasks as converting 2D to watchable 3D VR. But who knows, given the recent developments in AI. Let's see what the future holds. The VR technology really has potential and certainly won't vanish as soon as many similar developments did in the past. Cheers! |

I discovered these Vr to normal vids and now I want to find an easy converter program. Hell I'll pay for it. Love these conversions and there are quite a few vids I am really want to convert. I have read the posts here and they become confusing and difficult to follow. People are converting Vr vids to 2d mostly undistorted vids, though I have seen some that are still fisheye. Damn I want to know what they are using!? A VR headset is not for me; not for porn...... This member has a bunch posted, he has been asked how but no reply..: http://veterperementour.ru/showpost.p...&postcount=481 |

![]() I've done the conversion using VirtualDub 2, which is old and free. There is also a free barrel distortion filter for it that can defish the video. The downside is that the filter only works with the 32-bit version so I have to crop out the left or right side of the video and resize the 1:1 frame to something like 2400x2400 or less before I even try to defish it in VirtualDub or else I'll run out of memory. It can do a pretty good job of correcting the video but it takes a fair bit of playing with the settings and you have to make the correction by eye unless you have some straight lines, like windows or ceiling panels, at the edge of the frame to help eyeball it.
Ultimately how well the video looks will depend on what kind of positions the woman is in and how much work you are willing to do to convert it. If she is right on top of the camera then there just isn't any way to convert to 16:9 and keep everything in frame. You could get improved results with pan and scan but my best results are from static videos where the woman or women aren't too close to the camera. |

Just follow the step-by-step guide to get basically familiar with the program. It takes less than an hour. I meanwhile converted 10 long VR videos to 2D using the program. It normally only takes about 15 minutes to set all the needed cuts and camera changes to produce a watchable video. On an older PC it then lasts about as long as the original video's playing time to finally convert it to 2D. The fisheye effect depends on the visible angle which the program sets to between 90° and 105° on default, but you can freely change that in the settings. A lower angle or higher zoom might lead to a low resolution in the final video. Zooming out to a higher angle will inevitably lead to the fisheye distortion. I've so far used angles between 40° and 120°, no problem. Looks like a single programmer developed this software for personal use, which to my experience often leads to better results than leaving the same task to a billion Dollar company. I haven't found another software of this kind anyway. Just try it! Good luck! |
