IWeb and posting movies for download

I've built a website to showcase a short film trailer
I made. While Mac users generally have no problem
viewing the basic iWeb movie page with the QT viewer
in the browser, the occasional PC ludite has
problems. I guess there are a lot of computers and
users out there who have never downloaded QT (or
updated) onto there PC's. To solve this problem I
created a .WMV version of the same movie (with the
program CLEANER) and posted it as a link in the site.
I intended for the file to be completely downloaded
to the users computer upon clicking the link but
instead find that while some computers download,
others open the file and stream it directly into
Windows Media player. This process is awful since the
file first buffers, then starts playing in a choppy
fashion while the remaining file completes the
transfer of data. Any ideas how I can create a glitch
free work flow so that anyone, on any computer
platform, upon clicking my hyperlink will simply
download the 18MB file to their desktop where they
can then view the file as a separate, non-streaming,
movie? Or any solutions as to how to create a
non-choppy streaming .wmv file. Even though we shun
those users, sometimes we still need to reach people
on PCs for business. It's a bummer but a reality as
well.
Thanks

Cleaner works great here is what I did and a modifcation (suggestion for download)
You need to make a non-movie page, any will do. Start your movie and take a photo of it with shift-apple-4. This will give you an image of the movie and also the Windows Media Player frame. Place this image on your page, give it a title etc and make sure the image is selected. Using the inspector, chose Link to File. When you do thius, navigate to the wmv file that corresponds. When you upload your site, that file will be stored along with it and when the link is hit the wmv movie will launch. ~NOW~ for the PC users that will give you what it sounds like you already have done. WHAT I DID was just add a link "To download movie right click and "save target as" when they "right click on the "frame" or the link they can download it as opposed to viewing it in the media player
Hope that helps!

How do I delete sites created with iWeb and posted with .mac after a format

I am confused about how to delete a couple of sites that I created with iWeb and posted with my .mac after I did a format reload?
I have tried everything. The original files are not on my MacBook Pro because of the format.
I also see them in my idisc, but I is my understanding that on my MacBook Pro that I can delete the files, but they are hosted online. On the online idisk I cannot delete them because there is no option. Please help!!!

Using the file menu in Finder:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/YourSitesAreHere
Highlight selected files and Command/Delete. You will receive a drop down asking you if you are sure; click OK and the files/sites will be deleted immediately from the iDisk.

IWeb and Quicktime Movie Upload 2013

Three or so years ago, I made a website using iWeb (the last version Apple produced; i.e. the current version), and I included some videos. The videos were from a digital (tape) video camera, edited with iMovie HD, and were old-format 640x480. I managed to work out how to set the movies to start quickly (before fully loading) using iMovie and QuickTime. I dropped the movie into a regular iWeb page, resized it, put the settings up with the iWeb inspector, and all was well. The movies played (and still play) on Safari and Firefox, on my Macs and on an Asus Windows machine I have. (They won't play on my iPad - if anyone can tell me why, I'd be grateful; I'll probably put the original DV through a more recent version of iMovie and QT, and upload again.)
I want to make another similar website. However, my camera is now a HD tape model, and I have made my peace with iMovie '11 and worked out how to use it. My machine is the latest Mac Mini, and so QT is the latest also. I run Mountain Lion.
I made a movie with iMovie '11, and exported a quality version. I opened it in QT and chose 'Export for Web' and selected the option which gives me three different sizes. After some struggles, I worked out how to put this into my uploaded iWeb (test) site (although I have to say that the instructions Apple's QT gives are not the clearest), and it works, even on my iPad.
My questions concern the code which QT says you should upload. The code in the <body>, I understand, and it's obviously necessary to play the movie.
But about the <head> tag QT says:
Please note, to properly validate as XHTML, the <style> tag and the first <script> tag should be placed within your page's <head> tag.
Here's the code QT says to paste into the <head>
<script src="scripts/prototype.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="scripts/qtp_poster.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="stylesheets/qtp_poster.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />
However, the movie playback still seems to work without uploading the code for the <head> of the page. And there is NO <style> tag, and why only the FIRST <script> tag?
The <head> on the page iWeb produces for my test page already has a lot of code:
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    <meta name="Generator" content="iWeb 3.0.4" />
    <meta name="iWeb-Build" content="local-build-20130116" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=950" />
    <title>Ed's Video Test</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen,print" href="Eds_Video_Test_files/Eds_Video_Test.css" />
    
    
    <style type="text/css">
/*<![CDATA[*/
    @import "Scripts/Widgets/HTMLRegion/Paste.css";
/*]]>*/
</style>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebSite.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebImage.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebMediaGrid.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Widgets/SharedResources/WidgetCommon.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Widgets/HTMLRegion/Paste.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Eds_Video_Test_files/Eds_Video_Test.js"></script>
</head>
Questions:
1. Should I put the QT code in the <head> tag anyway, even though it seems to work without it?
2. If I don't put it in, does that mean the choice between the three movies doesn't take place? I don't have a smartphone, but the playback on my 27" screen, my Asus netbook, and on my iPad all look fine without the head code.
3. If I do put it in, where exactly do I put it, and do I need to replace any of the code that is already there?
4. The original iWeb drag and drop method still seems to work fine with movies direct from iMovie (and plays even on my iPad), but obviously you can only put one version of the movie on a page. Is there still a good reason for using the multi-size version which involves manually uploading the movie and opening the page after uploading and inserting code for every movie? For example, I have a very fast internet connection. Maybe it's kind to those with a slower connection to put up the smaller movies also?
And, since I'm here, I have a couple of slightly related questions:
5. I designed my site (it's non-commercial, just a trip report, but with a lot of pages) to not need any scrolling even on quite a small desktop screen (you click on from page to page like a book, but you can also navigate around sections more easily this way; anyway that's how I like it). But on the iPad, held horizontally, the width is resized to take up the full width of the sceen, so you then need to scroll down. It's really annoying me. Is there some code I could put in to tell the iPad not to do this (there are plenty fewer vertical pixels on my website's pages than on the iPad screen)? (I don't care about phones, because the site is photo-based so looking at it on a phone is pointless in my opinion. And netbooks with only 768 vertical pixels are not particularly important to me either, but the iPad screen is plenty big enough for the site to work the way I want it to.)
6. And I want to include slideshows of photos without using the iWeb/iPhoto system (which brings up an external window in a different colour). I want the user to be able to see the thumbnails, to start and stop an on-page slideshow, and for me to be able to put captions (descriptions) with the slides. There seem to be a lot of options, and I still haven't finished looking at all the ones I got from the web. But does anyone have a good recommendation - paid or free?
Thanks for reading this long thread, and for any advice.

See the second method described on this page for how to add the code to an HTML Snippet...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Poster-Movie.html
The prefered method of playing movies on websites is to use an HTML5 player with flash fallback for older browsers. Using this method, you can get away with only one video file - an MP4.

Quicktime Stream with rtsp and poster.mov

Hi...
I'm using Wordpress and I can't seem to get quicktime streaming to work. I've used the code they provided (which you'd THINK would work but it's not. What I'm putting in is (3 different ways/trys to stream the same file):
<embed src="http://alexissdawn.com/postermovs/poster.mov"

<embed src="http://alexissdawn.com/postermovs/poster.mov"

width="200" height="240" target="myself"></embed>
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
WIDTH="320"

<PARAM name="SRC" VALUE="http://alexissdawn.com/postermovs/poster.mov">

</embed>
</OBJECT>
None of them work and they screw up the layout of my site horribly so I've had to remove the entry. When I look at the coding for it, it changes it to just this:
<object width="320" height="240" classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">

<param name="QTSRC" value="rtsp://streaming.alexissdawn.com/streaming.alexissdawn.com/win98.mov" />
<param name="AUTOPLAY" value="true" />
<param name="CONTROLLER" value="false" /></object>
Can anybody help me?? I just need some simple code to stream some MOV files on my site. Any help ASAP would be GREAT!! Thanks in advance...

I�ve got the exact same problem. Any help would be appreciated.

GR with Excise Capuring and Posting ( Movements 103 and 105 )

Hi
We have the requirement like .
1. we have the Business requirement like GR 103 and 105 movements types .
our requirement: while doing GR with Movement type 103 will capture the Excise . While releasing Blocked stock to unrestricted will post the excise . please advise me how to configure .
thanks
@sakhi

Hi Sakhi,
When you post 103 the system takes it as GR blocked stock,not a valuated stock in plant.
But you can capture excise invoice at the time of 105 --i.e Release blocked stock and Post the same in J1IEX transaction.

Component scrap and post material for production

Hi guys,
If we maintain component scrap in material master data. e.g.:10%. when we need 1000pcs "A", we will buy 1100pcs.
But, when we post "A" for production, we only want post 1000pcs.
Is there some method to achieve this?
Thanks
Dan

Hi Dan,
Create another material say " X " assign this material in the Bom as component also by-product .In this way you can post
1000 for production and 100 pcs under by -product during confirmation .

Success designing on iweb and posting to yahoo server

Just wanted folks to know that although a bit complicated I had success designing a site on iweb and uploading using Fetch to the yahoo server. It can be done
The site is www.eugeniagarrity.com
RickG

I did too, but what a pain! iWeb likes to create .png files, and no matter what you name those images the link looks like 'my%20photo.png' and the file name looks like 'my phot.png' when the file name is 'my_photo.jpeg'. iWeb insists on changing anything like that to a spaced name which Yahoo won't allow. So you have to manually edit the name everywhere. This also happened with my podcast, after renaming using the _ it stuck. Don't know why the images are screwy though.
I think I've found an actual bug? I have renamed the file numerous times and re-inserted it into iWeb, yet in the inspector the file name is still the old one. I can get the cursor into the file name field but cannot type anything.

New feature: HD Movies for download - question

Curious - does anyone know what the specs are for the HD movie purchases? I believe on the rentals they are in AppleTV format which is the 940 x 540 size. Thanks.
Steve

Hi
I've been searching the net for an answer to this too. I can't find an answer. However, what it does throw up are links to numerous sites with the offer to download HD movies either for free or with a minimal payment. Whichever way, both are still illegal.
Me for one would much rather have access to legal methods of downloading and if iTunes offered this, I'm sure there would be a massive uptake in legal paid HD downloads in the UK, not only making the the studios their coffers but also taking away the temptation for people to become criminals purely because they are lovers of movies and the fact they would prefer their fave movies in glorious HD.
This isn't any fault of iTunes but the petty squabbling of film studios. I mean, we've had HD ready TVs for years now, downloading seems to be THE most popular way of building digital libraries yet we are not allowed to legally download HD! 3D TV is the next big thing and we still haven't caught up with HD! It's a crazy world.

Tecra A2 - Cannot find applications and drivers CD for download

Hello Support,
I can not find anywhere on the Toshiba Site the "TECRA A2 Applications and Drivers CD".
Why do you make it so hard for your customers to find all necessary drivers in one place?
Provide me with a link to a Download of the full Drivers disk please.
The drivers downloads page lists 30 single drivers instead of offering a package.
Thanks.

I agree with you about the Cd with drivers and applications. A friend of mine bought laptop, not Toshiba, with supplied windows 7 32/bit/64 bit disks and driver/application disk. So he doesn't have to make a recovery disk, they are already done and supplied. The same thing with drivers, he just need to insert disk and installed them one by one according to the shown list. Therefore, he doesn't need to make a search and ask about the right installation order. For every notebook, the installation is different.
In this forum, I 've found a thread about the driver installation:

Mountain Lion - Redemption and Time limit for download

I realised only yesterday, that i have to apply and register through Up-To-Date for obtaining redemption code. I did applied immediately, no response from Apple yet. I am going on vacation and will be back only after 30 days, does the redemption valid for 30 days and download allowed after 30 days. Any help is much appreciated.

I applied to as soon as I'd seen that it was available but have not received any email from Apple either.
I know there was a problem with redemption codes for some users saying "code already redeemed".
Don't know if this has slowed the process down?
I'm searching for someone to email with my reference number and see what's happening.
