Hi all,
I have come to the conclusion after talking to Brian, who wrote
PangeaVR and the author of FileMagnet that it is practically
impossible to access locally stored panos on the iPod/Phone in the
current version of PangesVR so I am giving up on that for now.
However I did make an "official" request for that feature to be added
to PangeaVR in an update. The concern might be that anyone could
store someone elses panos on their iPod/Phone so I think the feature
should be implemented in a way that only allows you to upload from
your own computer your own panos and not be able to save panos
downloaded from the PangeaVR "Browse" button.

On regular computers, yes. On the iPhone or iPod Touch, no. Those
QTVRs won't even load.
for ordinary mov (imported jpeg image sequences in this case),
quicktime permits exporting multiple formats (eg .m4v) for web,
including an iphone setting.
But those won't be interactive VRs. I may as well stick a video
camera on a ball-head tripod mount and *pretend* I've made a
panorama... :-)
so.. has anyone tried synching a local qtvr onto a device and
viewing, as opposed to pointing at a web address?
Yep. As expected, it hasn't a clue how it should be played, filling
the screen with the generic Q logo and doing nothing more.
Basically, it is pretty clear that QuickTime on the iPhone entirely
lacks the ability to play QTVR. That's a total bust, but we've been
here before. Pangea VR and the older CubeWorld (for iPhone 1.1.4)
both use OpenGL to show pano graphic content, and they do it
exceptionally well.
CubeWorld uses local graphics only but doesn't (yet) work in iPhone
2.0.
Pangea VR works in iPhone 2.0 but uses remote graphics. (It may
well be able to do local file access, but finding the file:// path
to the place where FileMagnet stores things is not working for me.)
