Maybe I just don't know how to use Pano2VR, but I cannot seem to make it do what I want. I have a cylindrical panorama that I would like to make into a 360 flash movie. Every time I make the flash or qtvr movie it limits my horizontal view so that I cannot continuously turn around in the movie.
Here's an example: http://bcomadmissions.googlepages.com/testpage
I want to buy pano2vr, but need to know how to make the flash and qtvrs work 360 degrees.

That looks odd.... what did you do? You just need to drop the image into drop area and add a QTVR output. Did you follow the "Getting started" tutorial?

DeliVRator tells me that the pan limits on this movie are 0 and 63; the tilt limits -6.75729 and +6.7529; and the FoV is set to 60 degrees, with limits of 5 and 13.51458..

If I fuss with the settings, I can get the movie to behave (more) correctly (360 horizontal degrees of data is there). Just setting the pan limits to 0 and 360 isn't enough. It appears that the tilt limits should actually be closer to -30 and +30.

ohhhh..... what have you done? Yes you always need to change both values, pan and tilt limits. You can think of this as width and height in a normal image, but why did you get a limited panorama in the first place? Did you enter a "Field of View" in the input dialog?
