Got mine a few weeks ago and love it. Made a huge difference in my panos once I got it set up correctly and aligned.

It has just a touch of sag and bounce though. But pretty easy to work around that.

Enblend and very large panos

Enblend fails to finish when I stitch large panos (10,000 - 20,000 pixels wide).

It seems to do everything correctly but when you go to the folder there are a couple of large temp files and a 4-8 byte tiff that has not been completed.

If have 200 gig of free space on XP/NTFS so I don't know of a file size restriction off the top of my head...

Any Ideas? They seem to be fine at less than 10,000 pixels wide...

Agreed on the multi-row. More work but far worth it once you have your workflow down.

Here is some of the original ptviewer documentation. I have the same problem. I don't see the answer at this link but great info for those interested in getting the most out of the player:

Though flash is available on more machines than any other option, it cannot display panoramas as well as ptviewer or quicktime. Hopefully Macromedia will offer VR support in the future via flash player itself (flash.ocx). Would love to see a ".swvr" format that flash player could play...

Two birds with one stone:

PTViewer along with the PTMViewer extension class allows playing both QT and Java panos. This would at least allow a visitor to view the same panorama whether they have QT or Java installed but you would only have to export 1 file for both mediums.

Here is a link to the documentation:

Quicktime imported into flash

Interesting stuff... This is my first post at panoguide.

It seems that the flash vr needs here would be better suited as a built in component of the flash player itself: flash.ocx

Any authored/scripted functions in flash are going to be executed by this player any way.

Macromedia could add this functionality to the flash player along with a library of functions for ActionScripting the new "VR" functions.

However, I don't think they would bother going to the level of ptviewer but more like the quicktime cubic type of support. Or even a part of shockwave instead.

On a very similar subject:

I have been doing some flash/ptviewer intercommunication tests that may allow the use of a flash movie for added interactivity and feedback to and from the ptviewer.

This makes it possible for directional sound and room layout interactivity etc. I'm new to the vr world so if all of this is old news, please forgive... Just wondering if anyone else is interested in the subject.

Best regards-

Karbo
