Hi,
I have a 360 video loaded in Pano2VR 6.0 Pro, and have it set to loop.
It is set up in the Properties page as an "Input Video".
The program automatically created a still image from the video file, too.

When I play it in Pano2VR using the local host, the video plays once, then the still image remains.
This suggests to me that the codec I used (H264) is ok, and that I have the settings wrong.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
Robert

Ah, I just found this recent message on the board:

Hello,
Instead of using jpegs to create a spin 360, can I use video file to create one?
Thanks

Which is interesting, because I have my video set to spin. And it does, but plays only once, and then the still loads and spins.
So perhaps the problem is that I can't set the video to spin and expect it to do so?

Thanks,
Robert

I noticed that given time, the motion video did flicker back after the still started playing.
My thought was that perhaps the video file was too large to playback smoothly.
So I used Handbreak (following another reference from this forum) and reduced the size of the file.
That worked!

Ah, so often things that appear to be bugs are the result of improper settings.
So to report: not only does the video play, but it does so and rotates also, even though an earlier forum message suggested that motion video would not rotate as it played back.

So good!

Robert
