Rip your DVDs, save out some bitmaps, and stitch 'em together with some free software. Instant movietastic panorama! Just use the PT GUI -- which happens to be a GUI for Panorama Tools.

Great link to great software, but it's _not_ free. It's $60 which is pretty dear for a single purpose package (although it does seem like an incredibly good product).
I do find articles like this annoying: they suck you in with the promise of free software, but are patently just adverts.

Yes, I guess you could do this with free tools.
For instance, take this slow pan of the DC mall, play it with VLC, take snapshots a few times as it pans, convert the PNG snapshots to JPG with ImageMagick, then feed the series of JPGs to AutoStitch, and voila. Now that wasn't hard, was it?
