MK3D files can be encountered on all platforms, including mobile. However, support is not guaranteed. MKVtoolnix and MKVmerge tools allow creating and modifying MK3D files. Certain Popcorn Hour devices provide hardware support for the stereoscopic MKV format. This allows directly playing MK3D movies, also over HDMI.
The MK3D format uses the standard MKV container. It includes a StereoMode field defining the 3D video format contained within. Stereo 3D support for Matroska videos uses either two separate video tracks or a single track. A single video track contains data for both eyes in multiple formats. The mk3d format supports 3D video. Hardware media centers like Popcorn Hour C-200 support it. Software media players will likely support it soon.
To open MK3D files, a program supporting the format must be installed. If an installed application supports MK3D files, right-click on the file. Choose “Open with” from the menu. Next, select the proper application. Check the box to always use that application. The system will then open MK3D files with this application by default.
