Brocap - Birdcap - QTVR conversion

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:

Birdcap 1.0b - includes Birdcap (by Yuval Levy) and the converter extension (by myself)
QTParser script by Aldo Hoeben as well as the SPi-V engine

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 Andrei Bodrov)

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...)
