Re: how about moving away from quicktime?

Hello,
I really don?t want to go to deep into that discussion - it?s done for too many times now.
We just build up some sites with speric panos and still are not sure what the final solution could be.
Personally I like Immervision - but the quality of a small Quicktime is much better imo.
Also it is easier to handle: all stuff can be done by an "droplet" of Pano2QTVR and that?s it.
The capability to inklude MP3?s ia just great - did this for a website of a music group.
JAVA only handles au- format which is by far worse.
Staying with QT isn?t the worst decision at all.
Changing to whatever:
what to do with the old panos ?
how much work to get a template up and running stable ?
is there really a sigificant increase in : a) quality / convienience / features ?
b) audience ?
Yes - forcing users to download the hole bunch of itunes etc. just for them to use Quicktime
is an issue but as far as I kno: you still can get ONLY Quicktime somewhere to download at Apples website (???)
What do the organisators say about that ?
Ciao
Mike

Hans,

machine for that...

On my side, the theorical problem is not a practical problem as 600*3000
panos perfectly works (more fluent than QT) on java based viewer
(immervision) with old PC from year 2000 (AMD 800 Mhz ; 500MB SDRAM) running
WinXP-SP1 and Matrox G400 videocard (32MB)=> not any special configuration
at all
If needed, I can look for more configuration details, just tell me what you
exactly need.
On another side, for public over internet, I don't take any chance and I
publish at 4000*2000 resolution on www.immo360.ca
