Quicktime on my website

I have a questions concerning Quicktime. Is there a code that would tell the browser to load the page before it loads the video. I am having trouble with this. It may be a problem with Firefox, but I cannot watch it on a windows computer running IE or Firefox.
Here is what is in my html code.
<embed src="thelaymansguide.mov" type="video/quicktime"
pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"
autoplay="true" controller="false" cache=""
value="false" =" " height="340" width="470">
I read something that said it would be better to .mp4 instead of .mov and maybe that would help. If you could help or have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.

I have found something that works.
This is the code I used.
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" height="316" width="448">
<param name="cache" value="true"><param name="src" value="thelaymansguide.m4v"><param name="autoplay" value="true"><param name="controller" value="true">
<embed src="thelaymansguide.m4v" type="video/quicktime" controller="true" autoplay="true" cache="true" height="400" width="520"></object>
Changing it form .mov to .m4v helped it work better all around. Plus I did <object> instead of <embed>. These things helped it work better on windows, both in Firefox and IE-7. Hope this can help someone else.

None of the quicktime videos from websites play anymore. This started yesterday. Before that I could play them all. Now none of them work. Has anyone had this problem? How did you fix it? Thanks in advance for the help!

Embedded quicktime files in website

Hi
whats the best method of embedding some .mov h264/mp3 demos in a website WITHOUT having the videos load on page load. essentially i want an embedded player like the JW FLV Media Player which you see on blogs all the time and doesnt load the video until the user clicks on the video image - problem is it dosent work with my .movs, are there any other flash-written embedded players that will?

The technique is known as a "poster movie" page.
A simple image file format saved as a .mov file. It loads the QuickTime browser plug-in (testing the machine for a QuickTime install) and just "waits" for a viewers "click".
The click triggers the HREF link and the "target" (browser window, new browser window or QuickTime Player) downloads and displays the file.
Advantages to this method are obvious. The image format "poster" is a very tiny file size. Nothing happens until a visitor click on those images so you could have dozens of them on a single page. Nothing downloads until a visitor clicks which saves you tons of bandwidth usage.
One of my pages as an example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/
Another method is a QuickTime Media Link file. These are tiny .qtl files that are "text based" links you can add to your page(s). Because they are text based URL's you could disguise them in the body of an html file page text. They measure in KB's (bytes, really) and a click on them would download to the viewers computer. If they have their browser set to open "Safe" files the QuickTime Player app would launch and the file would play using the Presentation settings you set for the file.
Another of my files as an example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/TouchofGrey.qtl
If my example reverts to the "small" version please wait about 30 seconds and then hit Command-F to revert to full screen so more data can download.

QuickTime on a website

ok, what's the deal here? Every time I try to look for code to include QuickTime files on my website I get a bunch of B.S. about needing a CLSID. There are no CLSIDs on Linux servers, and as far as I know there are no CLSIDs on Mac/Darwin servers, this is a Windows-only (and rather disgusting) phenomenon, having to identify a file by some obscure, arbitrary identifier.
Is this some secret alliance of Apple and Microsoft or what? I just want to have QuickTime files, and streams from Darwin Streaming Server, on my (PHP-based, but JavaScript is used as well sometimes) web sites. The files will be stored on the (Linux) web server or the Darwin server, and the live streams will come from the Darwin server.

The "extra" code is needed for Windows OS and visitors using Internet Explorer.
It's part of Microsoft's "ActiveX" features (or annoyances).
Without it a "first time" PC visitor wouldn't (couldn't) see your QuickTime content.
Not QuickTime's fault.

QuickTime publishing in website

This might not be a right forum for this question, so you can read it as well: "From where the required information could be found?"
I´m publishing short QT movies in my website, the functioning should be so, that movies are played automatically one after one, but could be paused by visitor.
I have made it with "autoplay" and "timed redirect" so that if movies duration is 1:30 min the redirection happend after 95 seconds.
Visit http://topey.fidisk.fi/eng/
to see how it works now...
It´s quite OK, but as an example, if user wans to pause a movie for a moment or watch some point again, the timed redirection will changhe to the next one before the first one was finished.
I searched the QT developer pdfs like QT & JavaScript and QT & HTML but could not find a answer from there.
I would like to tell to browser with a general script that:
When this only QuickTime movie in this page is finished then go to the next url.
something like: "document.QT when end=true then go <http://abcdefgh.com>"
Where to look for this kind of advices/information?

QuickTime and my website displays on Windows computers

Although I use a Mac, I have set up a gallery with photos and music examples on my website.
http://www.egoldmidincd.com/centralparksuite/
As I understand it, PC users say that QT is too large and clogs their system.
Is there anything I can tell these viewers to use instead of a full QuickTime to avoid the problem? The QT plugin doesn't seem to work without a full installation and I'm not sure how to use other streaming media instead, if that is even possible on my server.
Thanks,

I did find a working PC substitute (alternative) for QuickTime. I'm leaving this on in case there are any other suggestions or any further comments on how well this works.

Safari not playing Quicktime from new website, all other browsers can

Hi, I have a new web site being created. The developer has most of it done but has not been able to get the quicktime movies working correctly. The movies, animations, and panos, can be selected and play from Firefox on the MAC and PC, and IE on the PC.
Our problem is that these same movies do not show or play on Safari on the MAC. we just get a big "Q". The developer is a pc guy and has no way to get it working, he's tried it for months and everyday it's just a day away. Does anyone have some code or know what is going on and how to fix it. This is most frustrating. I would like to change developers but we are too far into the project to do that now. Thanks in advance for any information.

Quicktime Movie on Website

I just received a new tech movie form Europe. It's a .mpg file which opens and reads fine in QT. However, the file is HUGE, 236MB, and I would like to link it to my website where people will be able to view via streaming. Now I have other QT files which do this just fine but can someone tell me what the process is for taking a file compressing it to a manageable size and exporting to a file type that would be suitable for streaming over the web?
Thanks in advanced.

Potential responders may want to know if you are actually referring to Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) files or QT Fast Start "streaming" files. In either case the conversion process would likely require an MPEG based conversion application like MPEG Streamclip (free) or ffmpefgX (free) to preserve .mpg (assumed to be MPEG-1) files. The file size of the end product would, of course, depend on display size, quality requirements for audio and video encoding, and choice of format likely to be based on all of the previous considerations, as well as, compatibility with operating systems, browsers, and software version.

Problem playing QuickTime back on website

I've just started experiencing this problem today.
I converted a 4x3 movie to a 480x360 H.264 file using the QuickTime player.
I then added the video in a new iWeb project and published it to a folder on my desktop.
Followed by that I uploaded it to my personal server and made it live.
I then tried viewing the index.html page using Safari, everything worked just fine, the embedded QuickTime move loaded as per normal.
Now this is where the problem starts...! when I tried hitting the play button on the control bar, it just wouldn't start playing.
I've done this many times before and have never experienced problems.
I have a second iMac machine with leopard installed and thought I'd give that one a go, still the same thing, it won't let me hit play, its like locked.
I also have a laptop with Windows Vista, so I tried internet explorer and it worked just fine. the site loaded and I could press play on the control bar.
Then I thought I'd open the folder on my desktop and try viewing the site not live, well the same thing, it wouldn't let me press play.
It seems that viewing the index.html on my MAC using Safari won't work but viewing it using internet explorer works just fine.
Now I'm not sure if this is a iWeb, Leopard, Safari or QuickTime problem....!
Any ideas...?

Hmmm.....
I'll change the theme I've used and to be safe I'll set my:
content width: 700px
content height 400px.
I'll re-upload it to see if that makes any change.
Also in iWeb under the QuickTime tab, there is an option to set the *POSTER FRAME* even though I do select a frame, I still get a black screen (which is my first frame on the MOV file) after I publish it.
Any idea why?

Quicktime on some websites is playing with a blank white screen with audio

I am finding that on some web sites quicktime sometimes plays improperly in Firefox in a recent build. I get a blank white screen but the audio still plays. I have spoken to others who are experiencing the same issue.
The issue will sometimes resolve itself if the window is resized, the scroll bar is moved or the page is refreshed. The later only works occasionally.
It is not occurring on the machine that I'm writing this from. It is happening on both PPC Macs as well as Intel Macs.

They only charge you the $49 for talking to someone on the phone, which I don't recommend anyways because lots of times the machine needs to actually be looked at.
I would reserve an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar. They DO NOT charge you even if you don't have a warranty. They only charge you if you want them to fix it for you, not for the actual diagnosis of the problem. If you can fix it yourself, they can show you for free and you can do it.
If you want them to fix it for you, they will charge you for the labor, not the actual appointment.

Problems with playing quicktime video on website - can anyone help?

I have incorporated quick time video onto my website so that the videos are viewable via iphone. I used the HTML and video files format (.m4v, .mov, .gp3) generated by Quickplayer pro "Export for web" option. The html code and videos files works when tested on the local server but does not work via the web server (www.viux.com), a question mark appears on the Quick Time Player.
Can any one help? are we missing some plugin on the websever etc. Kindly help.
My website address is www.surgicaltutorials.com/IphoneVideos_abdomen.html
The website is with www.viux.com on Window OS.
Thanks
Iftee

Hi Guys, The problem is finally solved thanks to www.viux.com support team. All the codes and URL link were fine, the sever had to be configured to play .mov, .m4v ad .gp3 files, which was easily done (after being guided) through the control panel.
Therefore My advise to anyone encountering such problems (Windows / linus platform website playing Quick Time Videos for iphones etc) is to contact the server provider as they will definitely have to either guide or modify the server settings to play such file formats.
Thanks everyone for your help.
regards
Iftee

Problems With Quicktime content from Apple website

Quicktime movie plays in Firefox logged in as admin not as user

I am logged into my mac running 10.7.3 Lion and Firefox 12.0 and I am unable to view quicktime videos on websites. I get a "Q" white background with a progress bar. It's as if it's trying to load. On the same machine I can log in as the Administrator account and it plays fine. Both accounts are admins on the machine. Same plugins in Firefox. I have cleared the cache and the temp files, problem persists. Can anyone assist?

I think that is problem of you'r Quicktime, and the compability so you can try installing a old version of Quicktime!

Quicktime 7.5 Won't Play Movie Trailers!

Hi:
I'm new to this forum. I'm having trouble with my "Free" Quicktime player. When I go to the Quicktime movie trailer website and click on the HD movie trailer button nothing happens at all and when I click on the normal movie trailer buttons a window pops up/opens that has the words "Get the latest Quicktime". I have the latest Quicktime 7.5
I have been using Quicktime for quite some time now after upgrading from v7.4.5.67 I have NOT been able to play any movie trailers on the Quicktime movie trailer website. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it a couple times to no avail.
What can I do to fix this problem????

I was having the same problem but just found a solution for IE. You need to make sure the QuicktimeCheck Class addon is enabled. Tools>Internet Options>Programs>Manage Addons. (Addons currently loaded in Internet Explorer)
I am not sure how this got disabled but enabling it got rid of the "Get the latest Quicktime" message and allowed me to view trailers once again.

PDF's from Internet defaulted to Quicktime

Recently, when I get emails using Comcast Xfinity as my email provider and Safari as my browser the PDF files I'm trying to access are opening with Quicktime as the default. I don't know how to fix this problem so that they default to Preview like they have always done in the past. I even randomly tried to open PDFs on different websites and sometimes they open in Quicktime and other websites don't. I'm baffled! Anyone have this problem? It also happens when I use Firefox.
How did Quicktime become the default to open PDF's?

If these are downloaded PDFs, do a Get Info (Command-I) on one of them, and in the middle of the page set the "Open with:" selector to Preview.
Then click the Change All button in the same section of Get Info.
