Pano2VR v FPP

Very interesting discussion on PTGui.
Pano2VR is faster and easier to use than Flash Panorama Player but has less creative possibilities. But FPP, with no GUI has too steep a learning curve.
Or is there a third option out there?

The easypano Panorama2Flash can not do anything more than Pano2VR can.
Actually Pano2VR can now also ad hotpots in the flashfiles which Easypano can not.
And of course not anything like FPP can.

If you're not an Estate Agent, Easypano is ridiculously expensive

I like Pano2VR for its ease of use, great features and decent display quality. I have the impression FPP has slightly better display quality but that maybe just a difference in the many possible settings. FPP is a let down of you're not a xml/html etc programmer.

Hi John
I'm still learning FPP and I suppose you can see for yourself the results of both of them; anyway pano2(qt)vr is a precious tool in processing cubefaces as well as qt movies; I think there is no competition between them.
Regards,
Valentin

Using FPP to make a page with a single panorama does not involve any kind of xml editing which you can not do in 1 minutes with your notepad.
You just need to know a couple of basic parameters to expand the quality from the default values.
Making a toolbar of your own is just some photoshop work.
And when you learned it and have a template for it it you just need to drop t the cube faces into a folder and thats it.

fpp comes with an editor. You can load it directly in the panorama you can then set all kinds of settings for the plug-ins and copy them to XML. Agreed, it looks difficult when you first read the manual, but after just skimming the text you'll soon understand.

You can drag a .mov (qtvr) onto pano2vr and process it again into a flash file which is nice. I had a bunch of qtvr only panos, and wanted to convert to flash so that more viewers could enjoy. I didn't have to go dig up my jpg's.

yeah but fpp will just play your .mov file on the server (it doesn't play them on the server, the movies are on the server) using the converter, eliminating the need for conversion in software.

Hi,
Somebody tried to look at Pano2vr flash 9 files with Opera? in my own tests and as much I found them in net, all seems to hang after downloading about 7% of file.
