Brocap (Birdcap), QTParser
and Convert2
This is the Brocap-Variation called "Birdcap". The
Variation was kindly adapted from the original
Brocap by Yuval Levy
for my needs to have a plug-able extension for detecting
various VR-plugins installed on the client side.
Current Version: 1.0b (see
change history)
The needed files:
How to install:
- Copy contents of the brocapand converter ZIP-file, as well as
"qtparser.php" and "SPi-V.dcr" into the directory where
your Quicktime movies and HTML-files reside
- Change the link to your panorama from
"http://yoursite.com/panorama.html" to
"http://yoursite.com/birdcap.php?pano=panorama.html"
- If you also want to offer Flash, copy the extra *.fla
files in the directories (see
Pano2QTVR with Flashpack)
- done
Extra option: You can use the included cp.php file to
offer manual plugin selection.
You can also use this package to directly convert
QTVR-pages to other formats with the "convert2.php" script:
http://yoursite.com/convert2.php?file=panorama.html[&format=format][&pos=TRACK_POSITION]
pos: defaults to 1 if not specified
format: defaults to "devr" if not specified
valid formats:
Spi-V: spiv
DevalVR: devr
PangeaVR: pangea
Flash: flash

Cookie and conversion-related bugfixed (thanks

Updated the converter code and unlocked Birdcap to also
use Flash. Will need an extra Flash Pano File (.swf) which
can be created with Thomas Rauschers
Pano2QTVR with Flashpack

Eolas fix: convert2.php now also knows the
parameter "qtvr", which will do a QTVR->QTVR plugin
conversion by adding appropriate JS stuff (http://www.360rage.com/eolas-microsoft.php).
The file "writecontrol.js" is automatically created if
your webserver allows local file creation by PHP scripts
(otherwise you will notice a bunch of error messages...)
