Playing 2D/3D video files with AC3 audio in Gear VR

Here is my guide to transferring and playing 2D/3D movies with AC3 audio on the Samsung Gear VR for watching everywhere.


  
“ Has anyone been able to figure out how to play videos with AC3 audio inside Gear VR? When I play such (2D or 3D) videos, the video plays fine but there is no sound and I get a pop-up that the audio codec is not supported. In non-Gear VR mode, the stock video player can play such files with video only but the BS Player app can play such files just fine with both video and audio.
