Embedding quicktime video in a page?

Simple question. I have a quicktime .dv video on my site and
I want to
embed it on a page so when you click on the page it
automatically brings up
the movie on the page but doesn't start it automatically, you
have to start
it manually. How do I do this?
Best Regards,

scoot down the page and you will see
Use the autoplay parameter and attribute to set whether the
movie starts
playing automatically when the page loads (true) or if the
user needs to hit
the Play button to start the movie (false).

Embedding QuickTime Video om Web Page

Hello,
Thank you in advance for any help someone can provide. I am trying to embed a quick time movie on a web page. I have received the reference file from the company that will host the quick time movie and I successfully can embed the movie. How do I embed the movie with a frame of the movie with the controller to display when a visitor initially visits my page? Do I need to have the reference file recreated?

Embedded Quicktime videos will not fully load!

I've been attempting to watch an embedded Quicktime video on a website but it will only load for a certain portion and stop loading. Everytime I refresh and try again a different amount will load but never the whole thing.

Hi,
According to your description, since both IE and Chrome has same problem, it's not browser problem.
Have you tried to disable firewall and Symantec temporarilly for test?
If problem persists, firstly start system with Clean boot. Then using Process Monitor to capture the trace of accessing bing.com.

Code for Embedding Quicktime Movies in Web Pages-Question

I have been embedding QT movies in web pages for years. I used to use the embed and object tags, but due to the problems with the default settings of IE7, in regards to ActiveX, I recently changed to the javascript method.
I will paste sample code below, of how I use it, with the movie title change to sample: (of course I change the dimensions, depending on the movie size.)
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
and I put at the top of the page, right before </head>
<script src="AC_QuickTime.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
I forgot where I got this code. Perhaps from someone on this forum, or elsewhere. It seems to work with the default settings on most browsers.
I have a couple questions, however, regarding fine-tuning it a little more.
1) If it takes a while for the movie to load, users who open my pages see a static Q QT icon. How would one make the icon flash, with flashing text that says "Loading", so that the user knows that the video is loading? (I have seen that on other sites, and don't know how to do that.)
2)As said the javascript works with most browser default settings, as most have javascript enabled by default. But what if a user does not have javascript enabled? Could the code sense that, and if non-existent, tell the user to enable javascript? Or, if javascript is disabled, could the embed and/or object tags be activated?
3) The code above, that I got from someone, says "cache=false". That means that each time someone sees the movie, it has to be reloaded from the net, and not from the browser cache, correct? If so, why would one want it to be set that way? If it's a large movie, a user with a slower computer and/or internet connection would certainly prefer if it could play from the cache the next time, loading much faster. Is there any reason to prefer "cache=false"?
4)Is there any code that could be put in, to allow the user, if they prefer, to download the file,(perhaps with a right-click or CTRL-Click), instead of playing it in the browser?
Thank you very much in advance, to whomever can help with these code questions.

Thank you for your reply, Kirk,
1)Yes, I do have "fast start" enabled in my files, and they were made with QT Pro, newest version. So no, there is no "trouble with my files".
However, I would still like to have that flashing "Loading" icon when the file is loading, as I see on other sites. (And yes, even with "Fast Start" enabled, depending on the size of the file, the speed of the computer and internet connection, it can take a little time beforeit starts.) Anyone know how to create that flashing "Loading" icon, rather than just the static Q?
2)I just wondered if there was a way for the javascript to recognize if the user does not have javascript, and bring up a message if that is the case, telling the user they need to enable it to see the content. (As would happen if the user does not have the QT plugin installed.) Yes, I realize it would not work to include in the normal way the embed and object tags as well, I wondered if there was a way to invoke them only if the user doesn't have javascript. Perhaps impossible, but I thought I'd ask, in case someone knows of a way to do that.
4)Yes, I guess I could just put a separate direct text link to the movie file for downloading. I just wondered if there was a way to put that in the javascript, so that if someone right-clicks on the QT icon, they can download rather than view it, rather than use a separate link. That may also be impossible, but I thought I'd ask, and see if there is a way to do that.
Your question to me regarding dimensions--I forget which was the QT movie, that I took that sample from. Yes, I have some in unusual sizes. They are not normal movies. I don't have time to explain more now though, and that has no bearing on the questions I asked.
Once again, thanks for replying, and if you or someone else could help further with my questions, I would appreciate it very much.
Have a nice day!

Firefox Embedded Quicktime Video does not seem to be working

Hi,
I am having trouble with Quicktime Videos that run using the Quicktime plug-in in the Firefox browser. I am not having similar problems with Safari and much of what I have been reading seems to talk about the Flash problem (which is not the same). I am on OSX 10.4.11 (852167), kernel Darwin 8.11.1, Firefox version 2.0.0.9, and Quicktime plug-in version 7.3.
The videos I was trying to play are on the startrek.com site (specifically, http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/series/TOS/episode/68730.html then click on the "Remastered Episode Preview" link -- it is a JavaScript popup from that point). The result is a pop-up with a white box where the video should be and all of the quicktime controls at the bottom. At first it seemed intermittent (maybe one out of three times the video played). Now, it doesn't seem to work at all (could just be that I cleared the cache and it was picking that up).
I did try it with Safari and this video (and the others, of course -- that is just a test case) always works. I dug through the Apple support forum and the mozilla forum for firefox, but couldn't find anything specific to this problem.
Thank you for your help,
Jim

HI and I am perplexed.
I have the newest update for Quicktime on my Powermac Yosemite, 1gb ram and Flip4Mac installed. I have configured the prefernces for both the system prefs part and the QT prefs but I can not see the video...I can hear the music which this makes the 4th time I have installed it and I finally hear it but no pictures.
I don't know what to do. I have OS 10.3.9, updated QT to the latest version, installed Flip4mac, fixed the prefs and even rebooted to the Panther 10.32 cd and used the Disk Utility to repair all hd's and repair permissions to the OS partition.
As I said I can now hear the vid but no images appear. We are trying to use the vids (.wmv) to show off our members chosen each month but the few of us mac users only get moozik...lol
I have tried .avi, .wmv and .swf, the latter I can see and hear but very choppy. In OS 9 I knew there were several codecs that needed to be installed but I thought they were installed with Panther.
The url of the movie is Stormi's Artist of the Month Video ***may contain some nudity but it is not real people it is 3d art***

Error with embedded Youtube videos on website pages

On websites that have embedded Youtube videos, I no longer see a still shot of the video , nor do they have a button to allow me play them. Instead I see I message in the box where the video should be, that says "a plugin is needed to display the content". This must be related to a setting I messed up, because a few days ago I didn't have this issue. I would appreciate some guidance. Thanks

Embedded SWF video = slow loading page?

Hello and good morning,
I have recently created a website on DreamWeaver 8 with three
SWF videos (not FLV but SWF) embedded on it. The videos are
supposed to be set at "progressive download" but the page takes
ages to load up, as if the browser was loading up the videos as it
loads up the page itself.
Any ideas? Thank you!

Thanks, Hans
I should have noted in my first post that this was through Firefox... But regarding IE 8 (im using Windows 7 on my PC) it's slow from the very start and will sometimes skip, stutter and even completely stop half way through.
The original animation test should be much quicker.. about 4 seconds.
Im wondering if anyone else can verify this on their browser?
Jeff

Embedding youtube video on .html page

Everything I read about this says it's very simple - just copy embedding code, paste onto page, and voilà. But it isn't working for me. All I see on the (show design view) page is the code. What am I doing wrong?

It is simple if you work in code view.
Delete the code you have inserted in Design View.
Switch to Code View then paste your code where you want the video player to appear on your page. Hint: it goes between <body> and </body> tags
Does this help?

Safari-Leopard: Quicktime Videos from Web Pages - GARBLED AUDIO

OK, so here is the problem:
1. I am using (the new) Leopard, and all updates have been downloaded and installed successfully.
2. In Safari, when an (embedded) video is present, the video appears perfect. However, the audio is garbled, and unintelligible. This is true for EVERY video I've tried to view on a webpage.
3. I've saved a few videos as Quicktimes to my desktop, and opened directly with Quicktime. The same problem occurs, without fail - GARBLED AUDIO
4. The most recent "test" was a Quicktime using the AAC, H.264 Codec.
5. It seems as if I have installed all of the appropriate plug-ins, but can't be sure of this.
So it seems as if this might indeed be a Quicktime problem, and not a Safari problem, but thought I would post here in case others are having similar issues. I will make the same post in the Quicktime forum as well.
What is the solution?!?!?!??
rw

Hi Robert
A number of Quicktime/Safari issues have surfaced with Leopard. Here's one example.
Have you looked at your Audio settings in your System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced>Mime settings panel? In my panel, everything is selected except for Sound Designer II. Might be helpful to uncheck the Audio setting, select "done", then go back to the panel and select it again. Close the panel and try an audio in Safari again.
In your response here, please provide a link to your thread in the Quicktime forum. While Apple discourages posting the same issue in multiple forums, I think in this case the issue may be more Quicktime related than specific to Safari. So good to cover both bases.

Any experts on embedding a video in a page?

I have created a video that I would like to embed in my
website. My goal is to have the video actually play on the page
automatically and have a button to click for sound.
Currently I have a link to a page explaining that a media
player is required and a link to download a media player but that
seems cumbersome;

How many Quicktime videos can be place on an IWeb page?

I'm having problems placing more than two Quicktime videos on a page at a time. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks

You really don't want more than one "movie" on a page for this reason:
Each file will download when the page is opened. This waste bandwidth (you pay for it) and wastes the time of your visitors.
One little neat way to have hundreds (thousands if you wanted) of QuickTime formatted files served from your page would be to use QuickTime Media Link files (.qtl). These are text based files that really point to another QuickTime file stored on your server.
They can be made from any app that exports to QuickTime formats.
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/Tiny_Movie.qtl
One of mine as an example.
No wasted bandwidth and extra features in your file to boot!

How to upload a QuickTime video

Hello,
I had asked this question some time ago, but I still do not
know, how to do this. I would like to have a button on my web page,
which would (on click) open a new pop up window with embeded
QuickTime video clip. I would like to be able to control the color
or texture of the background and dimensions of this window, lets
say 400x300. Could anyone tell me, how to do this? Someone has told
me, that I need to create a "container". But how?
Thanks for any advise or input.
Cheers

CS6 - Trouble displaying Flash video in Web pages

Hi,
Here's my problem: I embedded .flv videos in HTML pages the same way I've been doing it for years. It worked fine until I moved to CS6.
The last video clips were edited and encoded in Flash format (1024x576 for 1800 bps) in Premiere CSS6 then embedded in HTML pages in DW CS6 after creating the .swf files with Flash CS6. All CS6, no compatilbity problems then.
Once onlie, they fail to display properly, i.e. you have to click a couple of times on the Start/Pause button and occasionally refresh the page to be able to view the video. It's works fine once started but the trouble is getting it to start automatically.
There's over 300 videos ranging from a few seconds to about 15 min on this site, and this is the very first time I come across this kind of problem.
Any suggestion?
Here's on of the old videos: http://www.aquiceara.com/UK/Video/Bresil_Maranhao_Survol_Lencois.html
And here's one of the CS6 "troublesome" videos: http://www.aquiceara.com/UK/Video/Chine_HK_Tai_Hang.html

The answer is to exactly copy the code from the CS5.5 and below versions of Dreamweaver.
Bu Nancy is correct. Everyone is moving to other standards for video on websites. Nancy generally recommends Pickle Player and I have been hand-coding using the HTML5 standards. I have generally found that all videos play in all browsers using the new standards, though you do have to support OGG and WEBM video files on your server.

My QuickTime videos on Iweb won't play on my Iphone.

Ok so i got my Iweb running through MobileMe. The videos run fine on my Imac desktop, but when i visit the site on my Iphone all i get is the Play button with a with a "do not smoke" symbol over it. Heres the link, www.ThomasCampos.com then click TripleMFilmWork to view videos. Btw I have 4 quicktime videos on that page alone.

Export recorded slideshow, with embedded quicktime, to quicktime...

...doesn't capture the video.
I'm trying to export a Keynote '09 presentation, with recorded audio. The presentation also contains embedded quicktime video (a screencast). However, the resulting exported quicktime does not run through the embedded video (the initial video still is shown throughout the whole narration of the screencast). I'm using the "recorded timing" playback.
While its exporting, the Keynote preview actually shows screencast playing fine.
The embedded video plays fine when I export without the recorded audio.
Any idea what might be happening here?

Well i just found this and tried it, it worked
1) Go to export to QT as usual.
2) Click the second drop down (Formats) and select 'Custom...'.
3) A new window will pop up, click the 'Settings...' button.
My 'Compression Type' drop down was set to 'H.264'....I was told to
4) Change the 'Compression Type' to 'MPEG-4 Video.
(I do not think it is related to the fix being suggested or just as a preference, I was told to slide the Compressor - Quality slider on the bottom left to 'Best')
5) Click the 'OK' button on the bottom left
That window will close.
6) Click the 'Next' button and continue with your export.
Not sure why this works but it did. But i still cant do it the normal way.
