Using the V.360 Surround Camera

The V.360 camera records stills and video.

Specs

Recorded video consists of two 180 degree strips, stacked on one another without separation. The resolution of this footage is 3248 x 2178. MP4 video file size is ~2.4MB per second. The video codec is H264-MPEG4 AVC Part 10 (avc1). The video includes audio in stereo at 48kHz (as reported by VLC).
Camera comes with conversion software "V360 Video Exporter". It converts to Youtube format (3840 x 1698 pixels) or Panoramic (3840 x 642 pixels). Both conversions result in files 1/4 the size of the original. The Youtube type adds black space at top and bottom of the video to pad it for a 180 degree vertical field of view.

Two approaches for conversion:
- Simple approach (cuts resolution in half): Export video with video exporter to Youtube format.
- Advanced approach (retains original 6k resolution): Use FFMPEG
