Ok, I'm trying to understand what this is? So it's a virtual cinema where I can watch films as if I'm sat in it?
So I can put a DVD in it will show up in the oculus? Also you can view 3d movies like Avatar? Or I have to convert the DVD /bluray first??? There seems to a load of confusing video formats??? Where do I start? Can someone explain in simple terms what you have to do? Sorry for the dumb questions in advance :oops:
Ps
Also what are LAV filters???
I would really like to experience a 3d film in the rift.
I don't have a bluray player on my PC so how do i get my bluray films on it? I

Just a minor comment:
MaxVR, with all of its rapid-fire (and incredible) updates, has now become my favorite go-to Rift video player!
Thank You for All Your Work on This!

Hey Carandiru,
unfortunately I still can't get to run the new versions of MaxVR. Like reported: no signal to HMD in direct mode, no fullscreen in extended (no alt+enter). This morning I unpacked the old 0.5.9 version i still had into a fresh directory and alt+enter worked! No luck with a fresh folder for 0.6.6 though. So it broke for me with something that changed in 0.6.0.

Oh boy! Well to watch movies on your computer there are a lot of different formats. The popular ones are MKV, MP3 and AVI. You need a special set of "decoders" and that is what LAV Filters is. You need to install LAV Filters for these video's to be "decoded"
As for blu-rays / dvd's they are not (currently) supported due to licensing needed for a 3D blu-ray decoder, and because MKV is really where it's at for movies on computers.
It is confusing, if you are not familar with these formats I wouldn't recommend starting with MaxVR. You need to get familar with regular video playback software like Media Player Classic Home Cinema.
I tried to make MaxVR as simple as I could, but I can't make it that simple... well maybe someday.
