Hi Marc,
There are currently some problems with draping satellite imagery over 
topography. I don't know when this
will be addressed. As to the z-profile - I'm not sure what format your 
data is in. If it is an image then we currently would
not support showing it vertically. If is is a gridded data set then, 
yes, you should be able to display a vertical profile
of the data.

The IDV can create static pictures as well as quicktime movies (not 
Quicktime VR though).
