That's good - if all else fails, i'd be happy to help you out with the conversion.

From this i assume you're using a Mac? In that case, there's MakeQTVRPanorama2 (a
freeware drag-and-drop converter for Cylindricals from Apple), but very well hidden:

(last entry at "QTVR Tools":

Also, MakeCubic (for cubic/equirectangular source panoramas) is there (first entry
at "QTVR Tools")
ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Quicktime/Tools/QTVR/MakeCubic_v1.1.6.sit
As for Windows-based solutions... sorry, dunno...

P.S.: Stay away from the Authoring Suite, unless you really know that you need it -
it's never seen an update beyond the 1.01 bugfix, and that was in the last
millennium :)
