I think that equirectangular images needs a ratio such as 800 x 400 or 1000
x 500 : width = 2 x height.

Yes, you are right. Equirectangular projection is width=2*height

Nevertheless, I am totally lost...

I managed easily to create the .mov panorama but I don't have Quick Time
(and it is impossible to get it as the set-up wizard is asking information
about the proxy and as I am working in a big organisation with firewalls
and password protection for the proxy).

So I decided to try to get it in Java.  What should I do to get the Java
version of the pano ??

Then, I went to Gilles website to see the Java panorama of "My Family" and I
was hoping to find some explanation in the HTML code sourceit but it
totally failed to see the pano (although yesterday it was working great
???)

I downloaded yesterday the Java Web Start version 1.2.0_03 to be able to
play with the new version of POV-Tree 1.1 (which is working great) but I
suspect that this could be the reason why I can't see anymore the Java
pano...

I am not a Java expert so may be someone could direct me...

The java version of the pano is just the jpg image, no conversion is needed.
The HTML code is as follow :
<applet archive="ptviewer.jar" code="ptviewer.class" width="640"
height="480" >
<param name="file" value="../images/famille_jour_vr.jpg">
</applet>

> but it totally failed to see the pano
Too bad :( The applet is supposed to work with Java 1.04 or higher. I've had
this sort of problem with Java applets before which is why I don't trust
this technology very much...
Note that there's a version of PTViewer (available in the panotool suite)
that reads QTVR. I wasn't able to make it work (just got a red square) but
you could try it.
Also, there are other panorama applets (Live Picture, Go360).

Yeah, in fact, I just dowloaded the version 1.4.2 (build b28) - the latest -
and got the PTviewer applet from panotool.  As you, I just got a big red
square.  I will look for some other applets when I have some time (but I
stil don't understand why yesterday I managed to see it and today NADA!

Thanks for the info.

Cheers

Did you try it locally or on a webpage? Depending on your browser, there might
be security restrictions wich won't allow the applet read a local file, even
when the applet itself is loaded from the local computer.

Indeed, I tried to make my own locally (HTML page) and it is working great.
But when I check the same file on Internet, I get red square...
I suppose that the Cache Manager (from my office network) does not allow
loading of java applet...

So I will have a look on my personnal PC...  But at least I know it is
working.

Thanks for your input

Yes sure I can, http://www.webkenya.com/pot_pourri/pano.html

Top and bottom panos use the PTViewer applet
Middle pano use an other Panorama applet

Just let me know if it works.

Thanks

Top and bottom are okay (well, they work, but the top image has a lot of gray
when you pan). Not getting anything on the middle one.

Whereabouts in Kenya are you? Anywhere near Malindi? (only place I've been in
K).

Thanks. The gray part is the background.  It was just a test image, nothing
like Gilles's pic :)

Well, in the large Nairobi city (the green city of the sun)...  I stay in a
suburb called Karen (Karen Blixen territory) near the National park and the
girafes.
Indeed, Malindi is a very nice place (except that the town is tiny)...
Tourism is bad nowadays in Kenya since we had many terrorism alerts (and
most air companies have stop their flight).
