there must be something, i've done to this quicktime thing on my system lately, because i can't watch the videos, where you say "please click and drag the mouse over the movies".
they show black bckgr with white font saying "waiting for video" but nothing happens...
what could be the problem?
i'm using firefox353

I'd guess your browser uses the 'ancient' mode.

there is a more up-to-date release of ff?

I'm using Safari on Snow Leopard with Quicktime X, but the movies QTVR's are just black.. If I download one of them and launch it, it wants to install Quicktime 7 (which is the older version). Isn't that strange?

This is a handy site for anyone wanting to know more about colour profiles and management - now that Maxwell has bravely entered those waters it is crucial to understand how browsers deal/cope with images that have a profile built in.

Safari users have it the best as it has always had built in colour management, firefox 3 has CM built in but only up to v2 profiles and IE is a colour disaster waiting to happen! (not sure about v8)

You can see straight away how well your browser copes by following this link...

Hi Bjorn, Quicktime X , even when its newer, faster and better , does not support as many formats as v7 did. When you install Quicktime 7, Quicktime X will use it under the hood for unsupported formats. I really don't understand why Snow Leopard does not install Quicktime 7 by default.

thx for the links, tom.
i de- and reinstalled quicktime and realized afterwards that i had a firewall situation that wouldn't allow firefox to establish that quicktime connections, needed to watch all those blingbling provided on those apple sites and plug test pages.
after i've reconfigured the firewall, am now able to watch all those test clips, that allow me to see if quicktime is properly installed.
but not this maxwell site. what i see now is:



this will be an endless story... once again... how i learned to love the quicktime... on non-apple 64bits
i'll just go on trying, i guess...

btw: it's the same, when i use safari. so, that's still not a ff-problem obviously.

Thanks Nachob, I'll do that!

No problems viewing them in Firefox - and they look great. Really impressive work Tom et al.

Where can I find the ies file for the lights used in point 4.7 (museum example)? The light pattern is really nice.

I don't know about that specific IES file, but i do have a pretty big collection of IES files i assembled. I can compile them all into one big archive and share them.

That would be great, thank you!

It's an ies called "nice.ies" If you do an search on the net, you'll find it.

I have just uploaded a large archive of IES files i had on my machine
