The Blu-ray file format can be arranged in Blu-ray folders, ISO images and so on to store the 3D movie in a “frame stacked” format as it is called in layman terms. It is not ideal for viewing on a Google Cardboard, so you need to rip Blu-ray to Google Cardboard type.
The ripping process is a simple or complex task depending on the software you are using. It can take somewhere from minutes to hours depending on the length of the movie, the size of the Blu-ray disc (often it can span between 50 GB to 100 GB), the CPU, the GPU and RAM of your computer. Therefore, the computing resources in terms of hardware and the software that can make use of that hardware also count towards the swiftness in decrypting the content from a Blu-ray disc to another file format such s AVI, MKV, FLV etc. but in 3D type.
These files, after the conversion has to be transferred to the MicroSD card, placed inside your smart phone, put the smart phone inside the Google Cardboard flap, and playback the media file using its media player. The charm happens due to the combination of the lenses and the SBS video playback mode.
