Using an extended desktop mode instead of direct render solved the majority of issues, and I'm finding helps a lot of other apps as well.
1) I can't get this to display in the DK2 when I launch the "DirectToRift" application. It only comes up on another monitor. Other DK2 apps I've launched don't do this, they are sent to the Rift. Any tips?
2) Can't find a way for this to recognize or play .m4v files? I've installed quicktime and the k-lite codecs. Does it not work with this file format?
I have a top teir system here, 4.2ghz i7, 780ti, fresh install of run time.
It works fine for me but with direct to rift, it judders a lot, like I you move your vision it is juddery, I have found a fix for it and when you do it, it is as smooth as butter like real life level of movement and update.
What I have to do is,
1- First put it into direct to rift mode, this helps the menu come back up on your main computer screen after we. 2- Set it to extended mode. 3- Now that its on extended, and reopen the direct to rift, the menu window should come up but be on your main computer screen so you can at least manage it and click full or jump straight to action, careful as you only get one chance here, if you close and then repeat to open it, it then opens it on the rift screen.
In short direct to rift is useless, huge juddering, but If you can manage to get start menu up on your screen but be on extended and have clicked on direct to rift then it works wonderful, if you close and reopen the same then its toast and will come up on the rift.
Ive been messing around with vr drive in for about 2hours here on this 780ti rig as want to use it to demo the rift dk2.
I was trying vr drive in on a powerfull xeon T3610 quadro k4000 and thought it was the drivers or the quadro but it wasn't Im guessing just this direct to rift aspect that seems to be directly for devs to really take advantage of?
its unbelievably smooth on extended after you first go in to the direct just to get the menu up for your extended run through, its like real life kind of movement refresh.
I going to be demoing this tomorrow on the quadro k4000 t3610 box with this little work around, I downloaded jungle book hd carton sample, and some mary poppins lol, will look great on the big screen 😄

Thank you for that report! I have gotten back to everyone that sent an email or message while away. Forcing dx11 was also found to help on nvidia or win 8 machines, as was ensuring there was no refresh rate conflict in settings.
Also wanted to add that your existing DVD or bluray collection can be viewed, but you must get one of the many free DVD back up utilities found on cnet, for example. Working on .m4v, however there is protection built into that container.
All feedback has been noted and will be worked in once sdk4 works as intended. Specific requests have been replied thru pm. Thank you all for trying this holo deck program. Much more on the way sitting in a lab waiting for DK2 to arrive 😉
Another destination, among many, to add to your DK1 and DK2 library... v1.6 on 7/27 with SDK 4.0 v1.5 on 7/18
Can you not please release a Demo, so we can try before buy? Just a 10 Minutes Trial or something 😞 Okay it cost only 1,50$ but im not sure if my PC can handle this and maybe it does not work, there not much informations about the App...
