To watch your 3D MKV movies on Rift CV1, however, there is an additional step, and it's not entirely straightforward.
The following will allow for perfect 3D playback of videos set up in a SBS format. SBS format means the left and right video channels are contained within the same file and appears as a near-mirror image when played back using a standard media player. To view your SBS 3D video files on your Rift CV1, follow these steps:
1. On your MicroSD card file directory, navigate to Oculus > Movies > Your Movies
2. Create a new folder within "Your Movies" and label it "3D"
3. Import or move your SBS 3D MKV movies into your newly created "3D" folder
Once you have created your 3D MKV movies and imported compatible video files, insert your MicroSD card into your phone (if it isn't already), slide the phone in your Rift CV1, and put the virtual reality headset on your head. Then:
1. Navigate to Rift CV1 from the main menu
2. Navigate to "My Videos" from the Rift CV1 content library menu
3. Select the 3D video you wish to view (if you followed the above steps it should have a "3D" label in the upper righthand corner)
