wwp@yahoogroups.com: Re: how about moving away from quicktime? Fulvio Senore 2006-Oct-18 14:46:00
Yes, but things should work this way:
if the pano is too large to fit in the available memory the applet 
reduces it on the fly.
So you end up downloading a large image and showing a much smaller one, 
at least for those who use the standard java settings (all end users, I 
suppose).
