Oculus's cinema app could be one of the most compelling parts of virtual reality. If you have some MKV movie files downloaded from torrent sites, chances are you want to play MKV files on Oculus Cinema.

Guide to Convert MKV videos for Oculus Cinema
Step 1: Add MKV clips
Install and launch this best MKV Converter for Oculus Cinema; click "Add File" button to import the MKV files to the converter.
Step 2. Decide output format
Tap on "Select Format" bar and find "Format > Video", there are a lot of format options for you. "MP4", "MKV" or "MOV" is recommended for Oculus Cinema. Of course.
Step 3. Specify video/audio parameters
Click Settings button to adjust video/audio parameters like video resolution, bitrate, audio codec, audio channel. According to my experience, anything over 720p does nothing but turn battery energy into heat, due to the screen resolution. We also recommend using a higher bit rate than a typical web stream at that resolution, as the pixels in your video will be magnified on the phone's screen. The optimal bit rate is content dependent, and many videos can get by with less, but 5 Mb/s should give good quality. Remember to keep audio encoder to AAC or MP3.
Step 4. Add 3D Effect
Click "Edit" and turn to 3D, then choose "Left-Right" and click "OK" to set 3D mode for viewing MKV in Oculus Cinema with 3D effect.
Step 5. Start transcoding MKV to Oculus Cinema
Click the "Start" button at the bottom-right corner of the interface to convert the MKV file to Oculus Cinema compatible video files. This Video Converter will finish the conversion in just a few minutes. After the conversion, click "Open" icon to locate the converted video files. Now you can transfer the converted MKV videos to play with Oculus Cinema easily.
Step 6. Watch Your MKV Videos in Oculus Cinema
There are two ways to watch your own video content in the "My Videos" section of Oculus Cinema. First, any movies you record using your phone's camera will automatically appear in the "My Videos" section. The other way is to copy your compatible video files directly to your phone or SD card in any of the following directories:
On your phone's internal storage (Phone):
/DCIM/
/Movies/
/Oculus/Movies/
On your phone's removable SD card (Card):
/DCIM/
/Movies/
/Oculus/Movies/
On a PC, your phone's storage can be accessed from Windows Explorer by simply plugging in the USB data/charging cable - no software is required. On a Mac, files can be transferred to your phone using Android File Transfer (https://www.android.com/filetransfer/), which is a free utility provided by Google.
