Important: QuickTime™ VR 2.0 requires that QuickTime 2.5 or newer be installed.
To use QuickTime VR 2.0, drop the QuickTime™ VR extension on your closed system folder and restart. QuickTime VR functionality will then be available in MoviePlayer. If you have any previous files by the name of QuickTime™ VR or QTVR in either your extensions folder or in the same folder with MoviePlayer, they should be thrown away.
QuickTime™ VR 2.0 requires a minimum of 16MB of physical RAM. If less than 20MB of physical RAM is present, virtual memory must also be turned on. Higher-resolution panoramas may require even more memory to load.
Important Changes Since 1.0
The zoom in key has changed to Shift (from Option); the zoom out key remains Control. The object movie translate modifier key is now Option.
QuickTime VR now attempts to be more cooperative, allowing other tasks to continue processing in the background while you are navigating a QuickTime VR movie; as a result, you may notice minor stuttering while panning or zooming.
Known Conflicts
QuickTime VR 2.0's Show Hotspots functionality for object nodes may conflict with applications that use MovieDrawingCompleteProcs.
Technical Notes
The preferred application for opening QuickTime VR movies is MoviePlayer. In reflection of this, all of the QuickTime VR 2.0 tools set a file's creator to MoviePlayer (TVOD). Third-party tools should also create files with a creator of TVOD if the files are intended for general distribution.
