A little help needed embeding QuickTime movies....

[themacko]

I've taken on the task of building my own website instead of using the Apple Homepage builder.

I have a few little QuickTime movies that I want to embed into a page, I found a site on Apple.com that explains how to do this but I'm doing something wrong. Here is my source code:

PHP Code:

<table width="640" height="69" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr> 
    <td height="69"> <span class="textBold">Sun Devil Football</span><br>
    <center>
    <embed src="videos/asu.mov" width="32" height="48" autoplay="false" controller="true"></embed>
    </center>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table> 


The movie is 32x32, so I added 16 onto the height to make room for the controller. I just don't understand what's happening. Here's link to the posted webpage:

I'm having a different problem where video does not seem to work with Windows Internet Explorer... works fine on any other browser on any OS (that can run Quicktime).

This is my code:
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" width="320" height="260">
<embed src="images/Rustler_Jump.mp4" width="320" height="260"></embed>
</object>

The video is here:

Hope that helps...

You need to place your EMBED tag inside an OBJECT tag, and it doesn't look like either of you are really providing enough info for the browser. Both the EMBED and OBJECT tags need the same info, so it's duplicated. It's this way because some browsers see EMBED, while others see OBJECT.

Try this general form:

<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" 
    codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" 
    height="232" width="320">
    <param name="cache" value="true">
    <param name="src" value="path/filename.mov">
    <param name="autoplay" value="true">
    <param name="controller" value="true">
    <param name="type" value="video/quicktime">
    <embed height="232" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"
        src="path/filename.mov" type="video/quicktime" width="320" controller="true"
        autoplay="true" cache="true"> 
</object>

Substitute your own values for the width/height. Don't know if this will solve your problem, but here's hoping. =) There's a really good book on QuickTime called QuickTime 6 for Macintosh and Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide. I have the QT5 edition and it is very, very, helpful.
