=== My Commitment ===
I'm committed to work up to 40 hours per week for 3 months on this project
=== Plan ===
* figure out what needs to be done
** how to modify VLC to detect QTVRs
** what needs to change in VLC to display QTVRs
*** dionoea mentioned that image handling modifications are required
* get an understanding of the QTVR format (possible start: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/InsideQT_QTVR/6Chap/chapter_6_section_1.html and the FreePV code)
* see how much of the [http://freepv.sourceforge.net/ FreePV] code can be used
* by now I should have a good idea of how things fit together
* write a bare-minimum QTVR viewer for VLC
* do some testing
* get feedback
* keep extending the basic functionality untill time runs out
