    Help Please. Does this page work for you?

    SOLVED

    I am trying to get a Quicktime based web page to work on my Lucid PC running Firefox and the usual restricted extras. Could a few of you check the page and let me know if it fails for you to, or if it's just me, before I waste time looking for a fix.

    Please go to http://www.monticello.org/house/entrance.html and click on the "Virtual Reality Panorama" link.

    I keep getting slices of the picture rotated 90 degrees anti-clockwise in a kind of slide show. Does anyone get it to work properly?

    Thanks!!!!

    Now that I did that, it just works. You have to right click on the video after you click on the Virtual Reality link.

    Thanks.

    Yeah, I tried that too, but got the same result as I did in the Firefox pop-up.

    EDIT: Am installing VLC now, and will try to set that as my default instead of Totem.

    I overlooked your sideways remark. Yes, it did that which made me wonder about windows, so I rebooted and I can't get it to play in Windows so the problem might be on their side. Now to reboot!

    i just get slices the wrong way up like you describe, using chromium and opening in movie player also. it seems that its just being treated as a video clip instead of having any interactivity. you might not be able to avoid this unless you actually install quicktime

    OK, thanks for that. It's not a big issue, just wanted to make sure I hadn't hosed my system. (Been doing some fiddling )
