James,

If you have a photo-editing program like photoshop(mac or windows), paint
shop pro(windows), etc you should be able to excise the individual frames
from the panarama and lay them out on your web page side-by-side as jpegs.
If your Quicktime VR is 360-degrees, you may want to lay out the individual
shots in two sets (i.e. one facing "forward" and one "backward") or any
other way dictated by your original shots.

In any case, the QTVR will be a lot more fun to view, but the layout will
give viewers the gist!

Good luck!

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Quicktime tour of library - image question


I've set up a Quicktime VR rendering of 
my library so that visitors to my 
web page can view and zoom around the 
physical layout of materials. However, for 
those visitors who haven't and don't want 
to install Apple's QuickTime Movie Player, a 
grey/blank image appears on the page.

I therefore need a static image of the library
to appear instead of the blank one for those 
people. 

Can anyone suggest how to do this?
Below is HTML in case for context. 

Thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks.
