Apple Media Tool: QuickTime VR Compatibility

Can QuickTime VR movies be incorporated into multimedia projects created with the Apple Media Tool?
The Apple Media Tool 1.x does not currently support QuickTime VR. However, QuickTime VR is supported using the Apple Media Tool 2.x software. If you want to incorporate QuickTime VR movies into your project, you should upgrade to Apple Media Tool 2.x. The only way to use QuickTime VR movies with Apple Media Tool 1.x would require you to write custom code into QuickTime VR, using traditional programming methods, which could then be incorporated into a Media Tool project using the Apple Media Tool Programming Environment.

An error message, " Error: not a cross-platform movie" occurs while converting QuickTime media through the Check Media of the Apple Media Tool 2.0 Converter application.

The Apple Media Tool Converter application cannot convert QuickTime VR movies to cross-platform. Use the QuickTime Utilities to convert the media. Once the QuickTime VR movie is in a cross-platform format, the movie should play correctly, even if the error appears.
