Trouble is I don't know what an XML file is, or how to make it. How can you possible project 1 - 3mb panos on a web page?

PTViewer over PURE?

I would like to ask experienced users what they consider the principal advantage of PURE, over Dr. Dersch’s PTViewer for projecting .jpg panos with JAVA. I do panoramas for websites using PTViewer, but I decided to find out if there was a better, more up to date JAVA viewer. I bought the PURE tools package to see how it performed, and by the way, I only work with cylindrical .jpg images and never above 150kb - for quick website download. It seems to me that having to convert a ready made stitched .jpg pano into .ivp is just an additional operation, when PT viewer uses the original .jpg image. The same panoramas I converted into PURE viewer is also not as sharp as the same PT viewer image, (having changed the param “quality” to 300), and there is some distortion of straight lines which PT viewer does not show. I also sometimes wish to make changes to the applet, of an existing panorama – change the starting point or alter the FOV, etc. which can be done on the actual applet with Dersch, but if I am not mistaken I need to format a new pano.ivp with PURE. I would like to use larger images for greater impact, so does the PURE applet work faster than PTViewer, which is somewhat slow for larger images above say 250kb. Am I no doing something correctly, or are the small images I work with not showing well in PURE?

Thanks Doug,
I understand this site uses PURE, so I assume it gives the best results. I've looked at PURE's website and downloaded the files but I can't figure out how to set it up. Am I right in thinking you have to produce a .IVP image, not a .JPG? My stitching programme produces .JPG so how do I convert them to IVP?
Is there anywhere which gives a step by step instruction about how to install the applets and files into a site?
Thanks. Roger.
