Hi
Ive used PanoVR with success to convert my cylindrical panoramic images to flash, but I can't get it to work when I do batch jobs.
My images are generally of dimension: 1800x300.
It seems PanoVR sees them as Cube Faced or something else, but the bottom line is, the resulting image is totally scrambled.
Here is a link to a low quality example of one of my images: http://www.virtualafrica.co.za/Table_Mountain.jpg
And here is a link to the resulting flash file: http://www.virtualafrica.co.za/Table_Mountain.swf

It's probably some setting somewhere, but help would we appreciated.

make this... Select Input / Input type - item 'Cylinder' (don't 'auto')

thanx
I do chose 'cylindrical' when creating flash panoramas individually, but when I try more than one via the batch processing, it reverts back to auto.
how do I tell the batch process that my input files will be cylindrical?

I think that program can not automatically detection cylinders (will be soon or never)

also (maybe) this non-standard texture for cylinder, this is defined as simple flat non-immersive panos (images)... automatic detection don't work here

Sorry, I did not work with 'cylinders' (only cubic textures)

well - I've solved it!
if you resize the images to 1800x350 (the where 1800 x 300) , Pano2VR pics up that they are flat panoramics and the batch process works like a dream.
thx for the help.
