Depending on the content you wish to view you have a few options. Here are some examples:

1. Set up Oculus as extended Desktop the Rift Display Mode program.

2. Ensure your windows monitor is setup so your rift is secondary.

3. For 3D movies such as Big Hero 6:

Menu – Media – Format – Side By Side
Menu – Media – Projection – Plane

4. If your movie is not 3D

Menu – Media – Format – Mono
Menu – Media – Projection – Plane

5. To open a movie select:

Menu – File – Open File – With VLC

7. Now that the movie is running you need to move the video screen onto your Oculus screen.

In my case the Oculus is my second monitor to the left. So I hit these keys:

Hit Windows Key + Cursor Key Left (Do this twice, this moves the window to your Oculus)
Hit Windows Key + Cursor Key Up (This maximizes the window)
Put on headphones and enjoy!
