I would have been quicker but I was still trying to work out what the hell last night's beer-inspired ravings were about :(

Yep, not pretty. The demon drink  :-\  Anyway Paul, as Phil mentioned you'll probably be better of contacting the company because, I think I'm correct in saying,  although its a video, its really a panoramic photograph played in a Flash program. Not unlike those online 'Flipping Books' where you turn the pages on the screen. It should run in a stand alone program as most things like that do. I'll try and have a look this week sometime and see it I can get it running by itself although I've never tried one of these yet. Should be fun but i like the challenge.  :)

I couldn't find the video source file (*.swf) , Gav, and suspect its concealed in the .bin file which I have downloaded but not yet investigated.  Have you managed to locate the source ?

Hi,
I am recording at the moment.  I will upload it using my dropbox later.  Some of the links from room to room might not work...(I don't know)  The recording is good though.  If it is too big and I lose quality when I make the file smaller I can give you my software to diy it.

(assuming you want it and can't get a copy)

Looking now. I used to have programs for extracting the swf file but I've recently moved to Windows 8 and haven't reinstalled any and also can't remember what they were  :-\. I'll have a quick look as I've got a lot of work on for a couple of websites i run amongst other things to do today. Plus cook a couple of curries and rice and a side dish for tonight for my daughter and her boyfriend. I think the nans on my new tawa are out the window though  :(

For what it's worth I've been able to download the actual Panorama images - you can view them in Windows Image Viewer but not in any other program. They are not JPEGs despite having such a file ending. No idea what type of file they are, the linux "file" utility just says "data".

Anyway, try them in Windows Viewer:

If you figure out the real format these were created with then you might be able to export them to a video format.

They are panoramic photos for which i don't know much abaout. If you change the extension to .swf they'll open in adobe flash player. Just need a program to rotate them  ???

Got the same. It's apparently an ini file that's been zipped and encrypted (in this order) which is probably used as a descript of where the actual files are on the web and other flash-motion related information as I was able to find from the TourWeaver's forum. Sadly, the actual link does not run sucessfully on firefox/linux (I get a blank swf page)

Actually, I think the files I uploaded are JPEG files that have been stripped of their header. Renaming them to SWF doesn't make them work for me in a browser as any SWF should, I think. However, they work in Windows Image Viewer and even the Explorer preview works. Explorer preview does not support SWF files AFAIK.

The images were created with Panoweaver but that's as far as I will take this.

Re the request for a video copy, I've managed to record the video, or whatever it is, as originally seen on the screen for several minutes. It's about 300MB so, you're right, in that the MPEG file will fit on under half a CD-R. Perhaps others have already done the same. Is 300Mb a bit large for a file transfer web site? Another option is to send a CD-R in the post.

What a beautiful place to live. Where is it? Most of us can dream only of visiting such a location for a couple of weeks a year, if we're lucky.

Ah. the idea of encrypted + zipped came from a post on tourweaver's user forum, so that sounds like an even more simple approach. Good job. :)

Hi guys thanks for all your help and suggestions.

the video is of my  house currently for sale in Marmaris Turkey but the company who videoed it here are trying to rip me off for a copy of it even though Im the ultimate cash cow when commission is eventually divyed up, I just want a copy for posterity after we leave.

can you email me something I can easily burn to a CD please?

I am no techno head whatsoever!

cheers

Paul
