I am a virtual tour provider. My toursare quicktime files and until I upgraded to Firefox 8.0.1 today I could navigate the tour smoothy around the room with the cursor. Now it is very choppy. Do you know why??

Question

Here is a sample.

Answer 1

So I'm basically just a simple photographer. But from what I understand my Quicktime tours will no longer run smoothly as they have on all browsers for the last four years with these new updates? Unless I change to a new file format which is yet to be decided? The tours run fine as individual quicktime files so it is not quicktime. They just start to operate badly once loaded into the web template/skin and viewed on these updated browsers. Take a look at an example on the new firefox browser and than check it out on an older version or safari all is good.

If you check the drop down in the lower right corner of the tour template and choose "save as quicktime movie" and then just click the movie it runs smoothly from the desktop.
It is already a big enough job to get people to be able to view these so the idea of having to give people more instructions to go in and change setting is Quicktime isn't realistic and I couldn't even figure it out. (Not surprising because I am not a programmer.) One of my competitors uses Flash which I thought would die out while Quicktime and Html5 would become the norm. At least the flash tours are reliable on these updated browsers. I'm confused and frustrated since delivering these tours is half the revenue of a very good business and all of a sudden they work terribly.
