Apparatus, systems, articles of manufacture, and methods for processing video in virtual reality environments are disclosed. An example virtual reality display device to process video in a virtual reality environment includes a video analyzer to detect unsmooth video data in the stream of video data and a video library to provide alternative video data. The example device also includes a selector to receive the stream of video data, an indication of the unsmooth video data, and the alternative video data. The selector is to select the alternative video data to replace the unsmooth video data based on the indication of the unsmooth video data and output a modified stream of video data including the stream of video data with the alternative video data in place of the unsmooth video data. The example device also includes an output display to display the modified stream of video data.
