I feel like I am repeating myself here but you are restricted by the source resolution. This is why Adult VR producers as an example are producing content above 4K to get better quality.

How can you be restricted by the source resolution when only now with the 2160x2160 per eye Reverb is there a HMD that has enough resolution and Pixels per degree to just about replicate 1080p on a Virtual screen that fills the horizontal FOV of the HMD and about 2/3rds of the Vertical FOV.
Using 4K source material which is downsampled to the effective 1920x1080 virtual screen possibly improving the image quality like Supersampling does for our VR games which are then downsampled and warped by the SDK to the HMD native resolution. Thats another question entirely. It may well be valid. But thats not what it sounds like you are talking about. The way you are phrasing it talking about the source restricting things makes it sound like you think the Virtual Screen could be made up of 4K's worth of pixels and thus we should be feeding it 4K source material. The overall resolution of the Reverb panels might be 4.5K's worth of pixels but the VIrtual Screen with its width filling the Horizontal FOV will fill not much more than half the Vertical FOV. Half of 2160 is 1080. ie. an effective 1080p Virtual Screen. Putting the possible Super/Down-Sampling interpretation/benefits of 4K down to 1080p aside, it seems like a waste of time to feed in a 4K source thats going to display on the virtual screen with a max of 1920x1080 pixels anyway. Obviously if you have the media in 4K format anyway then it can't hurt but I remain to be convinced that theres any necessity for me to go and re-source all my media in 4K and buy a load of new Hard Drives to accommodate them.
VR Porn is recorded in 4K-6K now because that captured res is split Horizontally in 2 for the SBS 3D and then spread across 180º Horizontal and Vertical Capture FOV. You can never see more than 100º Horizontal or Vertical at any one time because thats the FOV of most of the HMD's used to view the content. You arent seeing 4K image quality porn when the file is 4K. If the vertical capture res is 2160 pixels spread across a captured 180º vertical FOV and the HMD lets you see 100º vertical then you are seeing an effective 1080-1200p quality.
Anyone remember the early videos that were recorded in 4K 3D 360. 4K split in 2 for SBS 3D and then half the res that was left wasted on 180º behind the viewer/camera. Who the hell watches a VR Porn Video and admires the couch or the curtains in the room behind them!! 4K spread that thinly was pure pixelated mush!! They quickly realised that 3D 180º capture was they way forwards for VR Porn where 40-50º either side and above and below of 'The Action' was enough for immersion without wasting a ton of capture res where you would never be looking anyway.
3D 180º VR porn captured at 4-6k nowadays in order to deliver an effective 1080-1200p to our eyes. Back in the early VR porn days with 3D 360º 4K content was delivering an effective 240-360p to our eyes.

Ya know what, I haven't even tried watching bluerays or 3D movies in virtual desktop. I've not even used virtual desktop in over a year. So you guys have convinced me I need to try all of this so I'm going to give it a shot tonight.
If I stick a blueray in my PC blueray player will virtual desktop play it?
Or do you have to convert your bluerays to MKV Format first and then play your movie files from your desktop?
Thanks for any help given.
