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?

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).

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!

the movie on the page but doesn't start it automatically, you

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.

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.

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.

Embedding Video in web page for iphone

Embeding video in web page

Hi all,
I'm a bit confused with video on iphone.
iphone does not want to play a video (m4v created with qt pro) when it's embed in web page (html tag "embed" with attribute type "video/x-m4v").
But the SAME video send to iphone with itunes plays!!
What I'm missing?
Any idea?
Thanks.

does the video conform to these specs:
H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

Flash video on web page takes long very time to load before it starts playback

I just created a basic flash file to play a video on my web page and it's taking several minutes to load before it starts playback.
I'm using progressive downlaod and the file is in *.mov format and is 84MB in size. At first that seemed large to me for web play back, but I thought it could handle it since I thought the way progressive download works is that it would start playing the first frame right away and progressively play other frames as they download. However, this seems to be downloading the whole file first (or a major part of it) before starting any playback at all.
Is there some kind of setting I'm missing or is my understanding of the download incorrect and the file size is too large?
Some vitals:
- I'm using Flash Pro CS5
- To create my flash file, I used the standard import video wizard and selected the a file that is "on my computer" and "load external video with playback component" and then, I selected one of the standard skins.
- To deploy the vidoe on my webiste I have three files:
1) swf file containing the FLV component
2) the swf file related to skin
3) the actual video (84MB, mov file)
- Web page includes/embeds reference to swf file

Thanks for your response again. Looks like things have changed a bit to complicate this a little more.

Are you saying that if I wait long enough it will start to play .... from the link you posted?
What you are implying here is correct. The file won't play no matter how long you wait. Looks like it's because of the "source" file settings in the Import Wizard may now be incorrrect. This is why it's not playing in the new file.
When I created my original Flash Video using a MOV file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "Already deployed to a web server...". Here I entered the url to where the video file is located on my production server.
When I created the new Flash Video using F4V file, during the import wizard, when asked "Where is your video file?" I selected the option "On your computer". Here I selected the file from my local drive.
Sorry for not pointing out the inconsistency earlier - I didn't think it mattered and plus I couldn't get the F4V file to import from the web server.
Anyway, I've changed my object tag using the acutal published html that flash generates and have uploaded all source files to same location.
http://www.upperhand.com/tv/video-intro.html
To sum up the problem(s) I need help with:
Issue #1 - When trying to import F4V file using import wizard, I cannot use "Already deployed to a web server..." as an option for the file location. I believe this is creating issue #2
Issue #2 - For some reason, the F4V file will not load into the SWF file when it's published to my production server.
It works when viewing locally through browser as c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mywebsite\video-intro.html
It doesn't work when viewing on development server through browser as http://localhost/mywebsite/video-intro.html
It doesn't work when viewing on production server through browser as http://www.mywebsite.com/video-intro.html
Issue #3 - When the above are resolved, I'm not certain if my orignal question/issue will be resolved... browser tries to downlaod full file before any playback.

How do I fire a URL into QuickTime from a web page?

Looking at the Apple trailer site and I like the way that if you view a HD trailer it loads QuickTime and opens the video straight into QuickTime
Now I assume it's sending the URL of the MOV file to QuickTime to play.
How can I make a link from a HTML page send the URL into QuickTime to replicate the same way to run a video.
At the moment I build "pop up" windows to display movies in, and I think using QuickTime in this way will be better so if someone has popups blocked my movies will still play.
It must be simple to do.
I once did a site for someone that need a podcast and I got it to send it to iTunes. But I cant seem to see how to do the same for a movie to QuickTime

The technique is known as Poster Movies. A tiny image file saved as .mov file that can either act as a "placeholder" (target="myself") or act like a "link" (target="quicktimeplayer").
http://www.qtbridge.com/pageot/pageot.html
Free software to help write the proper page code.
Another method is a QuickTime Media Link (.qtl file). These tiny text based files can be placed anywhere in a Web page and will always download (Mac or PC) and will launch the QuickTime Player.

Playing video in web page instead of full screen

There is no "web authoring for iPad" forum. So I apologize for posting in the inappropriate section.
I have a web page with multiple video feeds, each with its own playlist, all playing at the same time. This works well with computer browsers. But the iPad/iPod/iPhones keep opening one video full screen. Is there a way to get the videos to play in their place on the web page instead?

Only the iPad is capable of playing videos in place. iPhone and iPod Touch will always open videos in a separate Quicktime window. I don't believe you have to do anything special for the video to play in place on iPad. Just embed the video as normal.

Settings for Exporting DVD Video to Web Pages

I have some short family dvd's that I want to export to some web pages.
What's the best method to :
1 extract the dvd content
2 create media for web viewing
BTW: I think I'd rather use MP4 with h.264 (rather than .flv) for this set of media
Q :
1 - what are the best apps for extracting from dvd and then encoding the MP4
(handbrake - quicktime - squeeze etc?) mac is preferred - or pc is ok too
2 - for the 'average' dsl/cable connection what are the best (safest) video frame sizes and bitrate settings ... I was thinking something like:
480x320 and bitrate xxxx?
or can I go as big as
640x480 and bitrate xxxx?
Thanks in advance for the help....

Do a Google search for DVD Ripper.

No Quicktime Sound in Web pages

Hi! I have been having serious problems with my sound in Quicktime. I have Quicktime 7.5.5 and I've found that audio files that appear on web pages do not play. The progress bar still moves, and all volumes are completely turned up, but no sound comes. Also, video files played online, a lot of the time, will also have no sound. The video will play and the bar will move, but no sound. I've found that if I uninstall and then reinstall Quicktime, it will work again for a short period of time, then the sound will go out again after usually just a few hours. I've had this computer for almost a year and I'd never had problems with this until I downloaded Quicktime 7.5. I had then later upgraded to 7.5.5 when it was released, hoping it would fix the problem, but it didn't. I'd like to downgrade to an even lower version, to pre-7.5 when the sound actually worked, but then my iTunes doesn't work anymore. Currently, iTunes works and Quicktime even works when playing files from the actual player on the computer, but internet web page files sound doesn't work. Any help you could give would be very helpful! I've googled this problem a hundred times in a hundred different ways and come up with no solution.
Thanks!

Embedding iCal calendars in web pages?

Is it possible to embedded your iCal calendars in web pages (either a .mac page or a privately owned page)?

You can publish calendars live to both .mac and webdav enabled private servers.
It becomes difficult to place other content on the same page.
