ARTWORK PROGRESS recording the video

Step 1: Recording
The video was originally recorded on a samsung galaxy s5 at 4k resolution. This was done by holding the camera at head height and walking the entire artwork

Step 2: Uploading
The raw video footage was approximately 1GIG in size (1000MB). Before using in the VR environment the footage needed to be compressed to approx 200MB
The video was transfered from the device to a laptop then uploaded to youtube and had the anti shake filter applied.



Step 3: Downloading and compressing
By using the Catchvid.net website I was able to download the video in the desired resolution and file format.



There is an issue with the new VR device not playing the video format from a website
Samsung Galaxy S5 is restricted in playing many video files such as WTV, MPEG, DivX, MXF, MTS, MOD, TOD, etc. Even the formats are listed in the supported video formats by Galaxy S5, such as some MP4, AVI, MKV, WMV, due to codec issue, some videos will not be transferred and played by Galaxy S5.
According to the video specs listed on the official Samsung Galaxy S5 page, Galaxy S5 supports playing video in the formats of MP4, M4V, 3GP, 3G2, WMV, ASF, AVI, FLV, MKV, WEBM up to 30fps coded with H.263, H.264(AVC), MPEG4, VC-1, Sorenson Spark, MP43, WMV7, WMV8, VP8. If your video files are encoded with other codecs that are not supported by Galaxy S5, such as if your MKV is codec with DTS audio, your MP4 video is encoded in 60fps, etc. your files will not be played on Galaxy S5.

basically the only solution to this issue is to convert the video files into a readable file format
