Download 3d video to equirectangular converter

VLC Media Player becomes the first mainstream media player to support 360-degree videos and photos out of the box. The latest announcement from the newsroom of the people who dedicated their time to create the most amazing video player app says that. So, from now on you will be able to play the spherical video formats in your Windows and Mac computers. The feature will soon be available for other platforms like Android, iOS and Xbox One.

But the feature will not be available in the older version i.e. the app with the 2.x.x version numbers. You will have to download a separate installer—currently available for Windows 7 onwards and macOS 10.10 and later for the Apple users.

To start watching 360 content in your desktop or laptop, from the download page (linked above) download VLC 360 Windows or VLC 360 MacOS. An installer file will download to your machine. Locate it and install the program like you would install any other app. Since it is highly likely that you already have an older version, the installer will ask you to upgrade it. Please note that this is a technical preview version and more upgrades are soon to come. Once you upgrade your player, you will get VLC Media Player with the version number 3.0.0-git Vetinari [Help > About].

Using this upgraded player, open up your 360 video files. It also supports 360 photos and panoramas. You can rotate the video using your mouse or the arrow keys on your keyboard. There are different display modes as well—Zoom, Little planet, and Reverse little planet. Those of you who have been taking 360 photos in Android devices might be familiar with these modes.

We can’t wait till this interesting feature is merged with VLC 3.0 final release. The possibilities are infinite with VR support and 3D audio playback to look forward to.
