the information is there but there is a bug in the interface, if you make your browser window smaller (maybe less than 800px wide), the caption will appear in the bottom right of the photo.

it's best to know as many processes as you can. i often will process similar panos with completely different methods to the same end result just to prove to myself that i can.

well i just spent a long time writing a response just have my browser crash for some reason.
i'm only talking about photomatix fusing/blending, not tone mapping, i don't use it's tone mapping as i don't like the artistic license that the software takes with my images 
i generally shoot -2, 0, +2 or really -3, -1, +1.
i've seen murky shadows in low contrast images and high contrast images. it just depends on what you want. for instance the first 3 vr's on this page pdxvr.com/tours-project-44 had muddy saturated shadows along the floor/wall seams so i had to enfuse them. photomatix gives pretty good results in most cases though.

i've tested it with 3, 4, 5, and 6 images, i've not given up on it yet though, it does give more contrast in general but it seems weighted to shadow contrast (and thus maybe the shadow saturation)
i generally try a number of processes on any decent set of images before i decide what i want to use for the final

for me (on a mac) the photomatix fusing is works much faster than enfuse but i'm not fond of the results so i don't use it, i've had issues with shadows being over saturated

matt you can always drop your mid toned or whatever exposures into the project and have that as a blend plane if you feel restricted creatively. however if you happen to know what you are doing and know photoshop well enough, you can get very good results either way.
i also don't see the difference between taking any of the blend-planes into photoshop and manually blending areas with the enfused output and taking your single bracketed shots and blending them with the enfused output.
if you lack the vision of what you want your final pano to look like, blending beforehand certainly removes the ability to create the perfect pano. if you have the vision to know what you want and how to get it, blending beforehand makes perfect sense and in no way limits your creativity. if you find a mistake or your pano doesn't come out exposed properly, you can go back to the pre-blended images, fix it fuse it, and re-stitch the project in the few minutes it takes to stitch and blend 8 images instead of having to wait the hour(s) it would take to blend and stitch 72 images, which to me sounds like a long time to spend waiting on software. i shoot usually many more than 5 panos a day when i'm shooting, any more than that, with 72 images i don't imagine that it would finish batch stitching overnight.
the less time you spend frustrated/waiting for/tinkering with your software, the more energy you can put into going out and actually taking photos or post processing them if that's what you want to do.

put the movie in html only if you want/need other html on the page
otherwise it makes no difference

Hamish Tear said: If you have PTGui Pro - what is the reason you don't just use that software package to take care of it all. Ideally - PTGui Pro should take care of all blending and stitching
as one smooth operation (depending on how 'hands-on' one wishes to get).
i too prefer to blend my images first as the stitching and fusing each go faster this way, it's faster to fuse 24 small images and stitch 7 or 8 than to stitch 21 or 27 and fuse the 3 planes afterwards. to me the stitching is close to the last part of the process.
i too am using a d70 too and a 10.5 fish - pdxvr.com
have you figured out why you are getting blurry results yet?

got a link ?
i'm guessing that you either have windows backslashes \ instead of the proper forward slash /
or your link is relative to your document on your computer and not relative to the document's location on the server.
but a link or your code would tell all.
mmm

i'm not sure why NOT shooting raw could help in any way, i think the camera could save the file faster than you could rotate the head unless you are using some sort of very old slow memory card or using long exposure noise reduction (which if you are, then you have blurry people).
i shoot bracketed exposures with moving people and cars all the time, yes some of them are blurry sometimes, but if i can take the time to bracket and get good results, the surely you can shoot raw.
what lighting conditions will this be in ?

there is info in the ptgui faq on stitching 10mm images that aren't fisheye, they must be treated differently than 10mm fish images.
of course posting a sample project would get you the best response
