Original 3840x1080 Qoocam Ego 3D Video for Download

[bing041]

There seems to be much confusion over what the Qoocam Ego 3D camera produces for 3D video, and perhaps disappointment with the YouTube rendering.

I have posted an original Qoocam Ego 3D video to Vimeo. By "original" I mean the clips were stabilized in the camera and clipped and merged with no additional recompression. So this video is straight from the camera - no grading, no enhancements, no squeezing and no recompression.

Vimeo permits downloading the original video I uploaded. You will see many choices to download, but the one you want is labelled 'Original' and you will see it is much larger in file size than the alternatives, all of which have undergone Vimeo processing (degradation) for streaming.

You might have to join Vimeo (free!) to download. I do not profit from this; indeed, I pay a hefty annual fee to Vimeo so viewers can download my videos. Free membership does not entail getting your financial info, or getting annoying emails or texts.



As you can see, Vimeo also squeezes the original video and is clueless as to what to do with the video for 3D viewing. So, just ignore the stream, click on the V (Vimeo icon) to go to where the video is located and download the original. Click the three dots in the upper right-hand corner to see the download options.

I am happy to answer questions about the process or the video.

Thankyou for putting this on Vimeo so it can be downloaded.

I downloaded the 'original'. Oddly there was no file extension on the file name. I was able to view the clip using a video player on my PC. I think the video quality is very good. The synchronization between left and right is spot on. I paused the clip of the ball being thrown. The recording was done on a dull day - the Sun is not shinning, so exposure is easier to obtain.

Thanks for looking.

I have now uploaded another original Qoocam Ego 3D video, shot in bright light, for downloading from Vimeo:

The Qoocam Ego 3D looks very good in bright sunlight. The stabilization when walking is very good.

I have been looking at buying a gimbal for mounting my two cameras on to get stabilization when doing walking clips.

I downloaded your original file to my IQH3D SKYY tablet, and the video ran fine in parallel view mode. But when I switched to glasses free lenticular screen mode the video part ran fine, but the audio kept dropping out. I then ran your original file through the file conversion program that is part of the Androvid app, which reduced its size from 835mb to 40mb, but retained its resolution of 3840x1080. This reduced file I could then display in glasses free lenticular screen mode without the audio occasionally dropping out.

Thank you for your report.

The bitrate of the uploaded video, which resulted in the size of the file, is exactly the camera's bitrate, since the video underwent no recompression.

The skipping audio is the result of the tablet being unable to not drop frames at the bitrate of the file, and so reducing the bitrate (resulting in a smaller file size) eliminated the problem. Hopefully the resulting compressed video retains most of the quality of the original.

The original Lumepad also has trouble playing original Qoocam Ego 3D files because of the high frame rate (60 fps) and bitrate. The Lumepad 2 plays them smoothly.

It is great being able to watch in 3D without special glasses or other head paraphernalia.
