the touted VR support appears just to be for external videos. PlayStation 4 just introduce this feature for PSVR, does 17 support Play back a Blu-ray 3-D on oculus rift or HTC Vive?

OK, I haven't been sent my key for the free upgrade to 17 yet so I haven't been able to try it, but the chart on there isn't very clear. It says there is a VR mode, that it supports side-by-side that the VR goggles require, but it doesn't specifically say that Blu-ray 3-D play back is supported on VR goggles. Since 3-D televisions are going out of production, it seems to me that that should be a feature you should be heavily pushing, as many people will get their first taste of home 3-D on VR goggles. Blu-ray 3-D playback is supported on VR goggles.

Actually, it does not support any type of disc playback via VR at all. Pretty pointless.

Disappointing to hear that VR support in PDVD17 is limited to 360 3D video files, no BD playback. I was really hoping they would fully jump into VR with this version and support playing Blu-ray and movie files in a virtual movie theater environment that allows you to pick the theater & screen size and choose your seat location. I can already kinda do this with MKV files running PDVD16 in Virtual Desktop or Bigscreen on Oculus Rift. PDVD16 unfortunately doesn't support playing Blu-ray Discs while you're in Virtual Desktop or Bigscreen. I get sound but a black screen due to copyright protection. I doubt PDVD17 will support this either. It would have been nice to have the VR movie theater experience within PDVD 17 with support for disc playback. So I'll probably skip this version and hope PDVD18 has better VR support a year from now.
