Hi Stephen: As others have mentioned, QuickTime was deprecated by Apple a while back. See ³Deprecated Frameworks² on this page: <https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/releasenotes/MacOSX/WhatsNewInOSX/ Articles/MacOSX10_9.html>
In some simple tests, it looks like QuickTime Player 10 (on Mavericks) won¹t even open VR movies, but will hand them off to Player 7 if available. Doing a bit of searching, it seems some people have had success opening VR movies in VideoLan Player, but apparently without the interactivity (at least none occurs here). You¹d probably do well to stop using QTVR and look for an alternative. I don¹t know what types of VR movies you have, but there are some tools on this site that are able to output HTML5 panoramas and object movies (and possibly import QTVR): http://ggnome.com/ Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, UX/UI Design On 3/24/15, 7:54 AM, "stgoldb...@aol.com" <stgoldb...@aol.com> wrote: >Thanks for the suggestion Jacquie.
