CubicConverter allows different types of panoramic images to be converted into and out of cubic format QuickTime VR movies.
Panorama types converted include Equirectangular, Cylindrical, Cube Faces, Mirrorballs and extractions/conversions from existing QuickTime VR Movies, and exported formats include QuickTime VR, PTViewer Java and Director Shockwave templates.

A basic conversion can be done simply by dropping in the media to be converted, then clicking the "Convert" button.

Limitations:
Save operations are disabled.

What's New:
Version 2.2.1 bypasses the workaround introduced in version 2.2 which is no longer necessary as Mac OS X 10.4.7 has corrected the bug introduced in Mac OS X 10.4.6 which could cause CubicConverter to crash on certain machines during cube face conversion when using G4/Altivec/Velocity Engine acceleration. The result is faster conversions on affected machines.

Note: if you are still experiencing a crash under Mac OS X 10.4.6 in this area on a later model G4 computer, either update to Mac OS X 10.4.7 or go to Preferences > Environment and un-check "Velocity Engine."

Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar or later
QuickTime 6.1 or later
(A Mac OS 9 version is available by special request - please contact the developer).
