Subject: Won't open QTVR Scene files
From: Don Preisler <email@hidden>

Older QTVR scenes won't open.
About 2.5 years ago I spend a month drawing QTVR hotspots over
structures on
both a whole and dissected a heart specimen (432 images) using QTVR
studio
with the sole 1.0.1 update. This is for an update to a program we did
in the
late 90's called "The Virtual Heart".
We have since scraped together enough funding to finish that program
but the
scene files will not open!
I'm using Panther, which is running QTVR Studio (w/1.0.1 update) in
classic.
I allocated more memory (hundreds of megabytes of RAM) to the QTVR
Studio
program (my machine has a gig) and I still get the message:
A problem occurred while trying to do that.
There was not enough memory.
Close some windows ort allocate more memory to QuickTime VR Studio
from the
finder and try again.
ID: -108
When I first tried to open the files the Mac didn't know what to open
them
with since their file types were gone ("????"). This was also true of
the
files with the .obj suffix.
I used FileBuddy and changed the files to "Creator: leah Type: proj"
but I
still get the memory error.
I tried booting the machine in OS9 and got the same result.
Has anyone encountered this problem of older files not opening?
Thanks in advance for a reply.
