Ed,
There is a very simple solution: Expand the image by adding a single colored
stripe making it symmetrical, then convert via Panorama Tools. This stripe
doesn't take up any significant bandwidth in the jpeg-compressed image. For playback
you have to add appropriate tiltmin/max values.

I have just finished a calibration of the cyclovision mirror which I
will post soon. It allows you to create qtvr and PTViewer panos using
my software, and uses the above mentioned trick.
