Quicktime movie in separate window - how?

Hello:
2 part question...
I am wanting to have a quicktime movie open in a separate window - that opens in addition to the homepage AND I want that window to display the movie only at 320 x 240.
Is this possible and how do you do it?
thanks!

Hi James thanks for the recommendation.
I apologize I haven't updated my site in a while (I've been studying for the Apple Certification Exams)
This code should acheive the desired feature:
STEP ONE: Paste this code into the HEAD of your HTML document
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
closetime = 0; // Close window after __ number of seconds?
// 0 = do not close, anything else = number of seconds
function Start(URL, WIDTH, HEIGHT) {
windowprops = "left=50,top=50,width=" + WIDTH + ",height=" + HEIGHT;
preview = window.open(URL, "preview", windowprops);
if (closetime) setTimeout("preview.close();", closetime*1000);
function doPopup() {
url = "<b><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://YourPop-upURLHere.com">http://YourPop-upURLHere.com</a></b>";
width = 320; // width of window in pixels
height = 240; // height of window in pixels
delay = 0; // time in seconds before popup opens
timer = setTimeout("Start(url, width, height)", delay*1000);
// End -->
</script>
STEP TWO: Insert the onLoad event handler into your BODY tag
<BODY OnLoad="doPopup();">
<!-- Script Size: 1.27 KB -->
Play around with that code and see what you can come up with!

  • Quicktime.mov file to Windows media file?

    Question what is the best settings to convert a Quicktime.mov file (40mb) done in HD 1080i wide formate to a windows media file so I can send in an email for review. I use FCE 3.5.1 apple G5 computer, I'm not sure of the settings in FCE for output to compres the file, I know it won't look very good it is just for a review of content
    Regards
    Merlote

    The settings will depend in part on how small you need to get the file. And exactly what format you want to use. Are you talking Windows Media literally (wmv) or just something that will open on a windows machine (such as mp4)

  • Optimizing Quicktime Movies for iWeb 08- HOW?

    Hello,
    Question about converting a movie I made for my web site uploading to my .Mac account - using iWeb 08.
    When the full quality movie is open in Quicktime Pro, and you click on export for web, you get this info box saying this:
    In the same folder as this instructional HTML file, QuickTime Pro has placed various versions of your movie optimized for web-delivery. Also in that folder is a reference movie, which selects the best version for your users' various devices and connection speeds. By including this reference movie in your HTML page, you can ensure a quality video experience on your site.
    THEN IT GOES ON TO SAY...
    Use the following HTML code to embed your movie into your web page.
    Important Notes:
    •To make your media viewable on the internet, your media assets (movies, poster image) must be placed on a publicly accessable server.
    •The URL parameters must be modified if your media assets are served from a different location than your web page.
    •The movie URL parameters must always point to the reference movie (Fluid-Cam Test.mov) rather than a source movie.
    •The reference movie must be kept in the same folder as the source movies.
    •Source movie names cannot be changed, but you can change the name of the reference movie (remember to change it in the HTML code as well).
    •Please note, to properly validate as XHTML, the <style> tag and the first <script> tag should be placed within your page's <head> tag.
    •Use this code in the <head> of your web page:
    (AND THEN THERE IS A BUNCH OF CODE AFTER ALL THIS- WHICH I DIDN'T BOTHER TO TYPE HERE OF COURSE)
    There are no instructions (that I can find) explaining where this code goes, which optimizes your movie for various formats. You can't drag and drop this whole folder into an iWeb Movie page.
    So where do you copy and paste this code in iWeb, that Quicktime creates from your movie?
    Any input is appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Best way I know is to put the movie into Iphoto, select it, go to "share" and choose to iweb. It will go straight to a new page in iweb which you can rename and include in your site.

  • How does Apple link external "play" buttons to quicktime movies.

  • How to keep quicktime from opening in a separate window?

    I was trying to listen to XM Radio online and everytime I went to click on a station the Quicktime player opened up in a separate window rather than staying within the XM website. Is this normal or is there a way to keep the Quicktime player within the webpage? This problem also happens when listening to MLB.com Audio streems.
    The problem with the player outside of the webpage is it doesn't refresh automatically once it ends stream. You have to go back and reclick the station to stream again.
    I am currently running on a MacBookPro with Leopard 10.5.1 operating system.

    MMM...well...if the button or the link you click on opens the audio/video in the Qt player. There really nothing you can do about this...it's how the web page was set up.
    Please supply a link (with no logins) so somebody can check this out.

  • How do I combine separate audio and video files into one Quicktime movie?

    I have DVDs that contain separate audio and video files in folders marked Audio_TS and Video_TS. I would like to know how to combine these files into a single Quicktime movie. Is there inexpensive or shareware software that imports and unites these files reliably? A simple solution is preferred, rather than getting into complex media editing applications.
    G4 eMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Doug - the VOB files (in the VIDEO_TS folder) are MPEG-2 files. MPEG-2 have the video and audio mixed into the one file - there are no audio files to combine.
    The rest are directions to a DVD player (e.g. the BUP and IFO's) . The AUDIO_TS folder is used for DVD Audio discs and on video DVDs is always empty.
    Many people use Handbrake or iSquint to convert VOB to iPod video though MPEG Streamclip is the best - open the first numbered VOB and it will prompt you to open all of them. ALWAYS fix timecodes when it asks. You can then edit/trim and export to MPEG-4.

  • How do I play a movie in a separate window and why will my movie not float on top?

    I like to watch movies in a smaller, separate window that floats on top of any other windows.  Since I installed all of the updates, I can not get this to happen.  I read and thought that if you click on the artwork it would launch a separate window but it will launch a music file.  Help please!

    You'll need some sort of additional software. You can still get iDVD by purchasing the iLife '11 retail box (it's available from the Apple Store or probably any Apple dealer). Or you can get other software such as Roxio's Toast. There's also a simple free application you can try:

  • QuickTime/Flip4Mac in separate not browser window

    I use Flip4Mac to watch and listen to Windows media. Prior to 10.6, the content would open in a separate QuickTime window. Now it opens in the Safari browser. How can I change it so it goes back to opening in a QuickTime window?

    Old Toad's suggestion works, but I think the original poster was referring to the more sophisticated looking way that many websites display movies nowadays. Take a look at the "large" quicktime movie here:
    http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/terminatorsalvation/
    The screen dims and a small frame opens (still in the same tab or window as the original content). There's a small "x" to close the new frame when done.
    It seems that Apple would be easily able to incorporate this feature into iWeb, but I fear we may have to wait for iLife '10...
    In the mean time, is there any way to script behavior like that into the current iWeb?

  • How to export quicktime movie?

    I was wondering how I can export a quicktime movie (camcorder film) to a smaller size but that can also be played on both Mac and PC computers? I tryed to export a couple time using encoding such as MPEG-4 but the movie accually was much smaller to view than the original and the second time I tryed to encode it at a bigger size, the movie played at the same sze as the original but at a lower quality because it was stretched.
    Can anyone help me with this. I just want to export and save a quicktime movie into a playble formate for both mac and windows and also not taking up too much disk space either. Thank you.

    One could write a book (I did) that explains what all the codecs do and where and when to use them.
    You need only need to know where the file will be viewed and its source format.
    As Rick has pointed out, most new digital cameras capture in DV (Digital Video) and they are nearly instantly ready for software editing (like iMovie). QuickTime Pro can also edit the .dv files.
    Once you determine where the file will be viewed (the Web for example) you'll get an understanding of methods to "compress" the file to fit the planned playback.
    Three major factors that reduce the file size:
    The new dimensions (720X480 DV files) to Web 320X240 (DV uses rectangular pixels).
    Reduce the "frame rate". If the source was 30 frames per second you can usually remove half of them (15fps). Use more fps if the source has lots of motion.
    The codecs used. Compressor-decompressor is handled by the delivery format (.mov or .mp4). Some are more efficient and offer better quality when enlarged during playback. MPEG-4 is the most modern and will soon become the next generation of DVD (currently MPEG-2).
    This is where your question can only be answered by you. The quality can be adjusted (some codecs offer "sliders"; good better best while others allow you to set a data rate) and only you know what is acceptable.
    Rick suggests a "one minute" export and I agree. Use various settings and data rates and use your eyes to decide what is acceptable.
    Don't forget that part of your capture was audio. If your camera captures only mono formats making the export into stereo does nothing but double the size of the audio track. The Advanced Audio Codec (AAC) format found in MPEG-4 exports does a great job of reducing the file size. You can control these settings at export, too.

  • How do I get Javascript or HTML to open a QuickTime movie as a slideshow?

    I have turned a 320x240 pixel photo sequence into a QuickTime movie using the "File > Open Image Sequence ..." option. However, that required I specify an equal amount of time to display each photo.
    Using the following JavaScript, I can, from within a webpage, play that QuickTime movie as a movie in another window by simply clicking on the link to it in the webpage:
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    <!-- hide this script from old browsers
    // This script opens a new browser window and writes
    // HTML to play an video with a title and caption
    function show_movie( pFileName, pTitle, pCaption, pEnd) {
    // specify window parameters
    movieWin = window.open( "", "", "width=370,height=400,status,scrollbars,resizable");
    // wrote content to window
    movieWin.document.write('<html><head><title>' + pTitle + '</title></head>');
    movieWin.document.write('<BODY BGCOLOR=#000000 TEXT=#FFFFCC LINK=#33CCFF VLINK=#FF6666>');
    movieWin.document.write('<center>');

    movieWin.document.write('<form>');
    movieWin.document.write('<input type=button value="Close Window" onClick="javascript:window.close();" name="button">');
    movieWin.document.write('</form>');
    movieWin.document.close();
    // If we are on NetScape, we can bring the window to the front
    if (navigator.appName.substring(0,8) == "Netscape") movieWin.focus();

    But some photos need to be displayed for a longer time than others.
    QuickTime 7.1.2 "View > Present Movie > Slideshow > Play" will play the movie as a slideshow -- the person looking at it has full control over how much time a photo is displayed before going to the next one.
    My JavaScript allows the user to pause the movie and continue it at will, but if I can modify it to play the movie directly as a slideshow like QuickTime 7.1.2, please let me know how.
    Thank you.

  • How do I open a QuickTime movie in the Player

    How do I create a link in Dreamweaver8 which will open a QuickTime movie in the QuickTime Player and not in another browser window of Safari?

    Looking at the source of this page, the markup you posted was:
    <pre><a href="Excerpts-The Cult.mov" target="QUICKTIMEPLAYER">Video<br></pre>
    1. An HREF tag needs to be closed with an </a> immediately after the word you're hyperlinking (in this case, "Video").
    2. Many web servers are cAsE sEnSiTiVe. Best to use all lower case chars in your filename, and avoid space chars altogether (spaces are interpreted as a '%20' character code, that can muck things up).
    3. Instead of an HREF tag, you need to use an EMBED tag to invoke the QT Plugin, as demonstrated on the page I linked to above. The HREF tag doesn't understand TARGET="QUICKTIMEPLAYER", only the QT Plugin understands that attribute.
    4. For cross-platform compatibility (specifically with Internet Explorer Win 5.5SP2 & above), you also need to use an OBJECT tag to embed your mov. That will be ignored by browsers that use Netscape-style plugins (they use EMBED), but still read by browsers that use ActiveX controls (i.e: Internet Explorer Win).
    You might find it useful to work through the basic embedding QT tutorial, also the ADC HTML Scripting Guide for QT.
    If all that makes your head spin, grab a copy of PAGEot and get it to generate the QT markup for you.

  • How do I open a video podcast in a separate window?

    I used to have it set so I can open a video podcast in a separate window and then close it and have the main window STILL open in back of it...
    Now I don't see and pref for that in 10.4.1
    Any idea how to do this?

    I haven't figured that out yet.  Each video played in a seprate window seems to take on the size of the video's original size.  You won't have that problem if you choose to play them back in the iTunes window, or full screen. Then, they all play the same size, but you have to click the circled X that appears in the top left corner when you first move cursor into the video window or move it within the video window to see the main window again.

  • Quicktime movie opens Safari, HOW??

    Oh I just watched a QT movie file that automatically opened my Safari browser and sent me to the web site the movie came from. How can I make QT movie files that do this so I can direct my family that views my movies to my website?

    So much for my set of instructions. My version of Automator must be on the fritz. As I attempted to create a simple workflow that I was going to save as an application I can't get the hyperlink to work in the movie.
    Odd. It worked just fine a few weeks ago. It does require a viewer click on the playback window. I use a "click here for more info" graphic to help them understand.
    http://www.apple.com/applescript/quicktime/
    Plenty of help with the older software (AppleScript). Download the collection above and you'll find more than a few tricks that are easy to use. And they work (most of them, anyway) on a Tiger Mac using QT 7.
    One (Text Tracks folder) is HREF to movie end. This will automatically open your Web link when the movie is done playing (when played back using the browser plug-in). You can set the link to open in the same or a new browser window.
