don't want to bother with the "beta" flash support just yet (or not at all),
then feel free to use Quicktime like during the events before and simply
disregard the "jpeg upload" part.
Comment:
If the equirect is optional, and an entry might not have a Flash version, then the experience for those who "Prefer Flash", will be incomplete. How will it work when the Flash preference is set but there's no Flash version. A message like "No Flash version"? Then I have to click "Back" to make another try? Maybe if you say "Prefer Flash (Beta)" it will help. Or are you converting all QTs to Flash?

If all of them are equirectangles, I do not see the difference between these. Isn't a cylinder a partial sphere? And the set limits are there for what I call a cylinder, so how do I know that it isn't important?

I have sympathy for you. This changing of formats is a huge job with myriad pesky time-consuming details. I appreciate the brave bold move because without it, WWP would die. But it is not easy at all.

Not sure about this. Personally, I like the firm view of my preference. It might be my imagination, but it seems to me that QT panos usually flow more smoothly. When I come to one that I like to spin in, I might switch back and forth between QT and Flash.
