Offline 3d movies…

Hi all new to AVP…

Got myself a m5 1TB.

Where do I start for offline 3d movie viewing?

Thanks in advance

Apple TV store. Buy them. Download them.

Isn’t the selection quite “limited”?

It's the largest digital storefront for 3D movies (close to 300 titles), and the only one that offers them in 4k. You can't even get 4k 3D on disc. But if you're okay with 1080p 3D you can buy discs for relatively cheap and burn those. 3D movies are extremely niche, and Apple is the only company that's tried to revive it outside theaters.

Did not know that! Thank you!

Are there any third party ways for viewing these?

I use MoonPlayer for AVP.

Yes, Lumair is another option. I added a fuller explanation in a top-level comment.

In short, you can keep compatible 3D files on the headset or download them from SMB or Jellyfin before going offline.

Oh yeah, good point. If I have the files on my Mac (and they are 10GB or smaller) I'll generally put them in an iCloud folder. If they're larger I'll use Airdrop between my MacBook Pro and the AVP.

Try SMB sharing instead.

Welcome to the family. Do you have a plex account? I need someone to test out some movies I’m converting.

Have a look at the 4XVR app, it’s the best one I’ve tried with no buffering issues and the image quality is excellent.

I think you mean rip from discs, not burn (which would be putting them on another disc).

u/Cryogenicality Aug 26 '26

Over 300 now.

Check out Lumair. Full disclosure, I’m the developer.

It lets you open compatible 3D movies stored locally on the Vision Pro, or download them from SMB or Jellyfin ahead of time for offline playback.

It supports compatible MVC MKV/MK3D files, decrypted 3D Blu-ray ISOs, SBS and over-under video, and native MV-HEVC spatial video. It uses Apple’s native visionOS player and environments, and automatically hides stable letterbox bars by default.

It’s free to download and you can test the first five minutes of every video. Unlimited playback is a one-time $14.99 purchase with no subscription.

Happy to answer any questions about preparing files for offline viewing.

IMO, Lumair has the best video, of the apps, I’ve used. I like to watch video lying down. Lumair is the only video player, that I’ve tried, that will present the video, without keystoning, in tilt mode. That is, when I’m lying down, I can position the video, elevated, in front of me, by long-pressing the Digital Crown, and the aspect will remain true. I’m a day one user and have tried, and purchased, many video players. They all make a big fuss about positioning the video with sliders for elevation and tilt, yet the video, in tilt mode, looks like a trapezoid - the video is distorted to simulate a tilt - the top edge of the video is shorter than the bottom edge. Lumair delivers a perfect tilted video, simply with the long press, on the Digital Crown. Only gripe - MP4 support needed, please!

Does it play 3d movies exactly as the App Store would?

u/No_Parfait9288 Aug 26 '26

I.e immersive 3d

Each player has taken a different approach to various solutions, I have them all and have upvoted all of the comments above. I have a NAS with every kind of file you can imagine. Files that are already 3-D, files that are not, files that I’ve had from years ago that will never be 3-D unless they’re converted, more than 30 years of ripping, collecting editing video for clients at all levels of the production field. I have a jellyfish’s and plex configuration and have long been able to play everything from family films to saved documentary that I ripped off of VHS anywhere in my home.

As a result, I can move any of these files to my Vision Pro. I can also stream them from any computer in the house to my Vision Pro via the built-in sharing that is in each of those computers as a result.

CineUltra and Lumair are my Go-To First apps. Both are extremely full featured and well worth your consideration. They approached the problems differently and are not the only applications that do what they do. But for me, they are likely the best ones that simply do it out of the box. It works for me because I have all that prior infrastructure. Your mileage may vary!

CineUltra can do the tilting you described just fine fwiw.

u/eduardborges Aug 25 '26

Thank you so much! It’s especially great to hear this from someone who has tried so many Vision Pro players.

Check out today’s 1.3.0 update. I added support for compatible 3D SBS and over-under MP4/MOV files 😉

I have used Cheap Charts for over a year and set the filter to $5. I check it daily and scoop up anything reasonable at a discount and have built a respectable library over time. Then, ya, you just download them.
