Quicktime to iWeb question

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, I 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 ...
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)
Understand that I am using iWeb 08, which is a wysiwyg program.
There is no instructions-that I can find-explaining where this code goes, or how to optimize a movie for various formats, using iWeb 08.
Any input is appreciated!
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply...
I would have posted this elsewhere (and would have done so) but since the question seems to originate within the Quicktime program, I assumed there would be a Quicktime answer.
My thought was, surely there are Quicktime users that have incorporated iWeb by now ... guess not.
I will be pleased to post this again in iWeb of course.
Thanks Again!

Quicktime logo with question mark appears instead of flash content

since updating my system yesterday to OS x 10.4.11 i have been unable to view flash content with _all browsers_. *Quicktime logo with question mark* appears instead. Spent 4 hours trying every fix suggested by Mac forums worldwide - with no result. Took the computer to the apple store where they actually took 60 euros off me for NOT fixing the problem. Still cannot view any flash content. Any help would be appreciated

These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11.
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.)
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster!

QuickTime Logo and question mark on iWeb site!

Hi All
I have a podcast page hosted at an external URL. I have got the RSS feeds working, and linking to itunes, but the media file, dispite being in the correct folder does not display on the page. Is there a line of code I need to change.
If so I think I may have a solution to hosting blogs and podcasts external to .mac.

http://www.belmonthousestud.com/podcasts/Media/WhoopyB.m4v
File not found error.
Notice that when iWeb publishes to a folder it stores in a different folder structure than when published to .Mac.
The syntax for your upload would be:
podcasts/Media/WhoopyB.m4v
A folder named "podcasts" and inside it a folder named "Media" and that is where you need to upload the WhoopyB.m4v file.
Many Web hosts also use a folder named "Media" and that can cause issues.
You should be able to manually drag the file to a new folder you make inside the podcasts folder or upload the file to that folder if it already exists.

Quicktime logo and question mark in Firefox

If anybody can help with this I would be very gratefull. When I am using Firefox (latest version) on my Macbook Pro and I navigate to any website that requires the quicktime plugin all I get is the quicktime logo and a question mark, I am running quicktime 7.1.3. There is no problem using these sites with safari. I assume it is specific to this user account because I have a 2nd user account on Mac OSX and when I log into the 2nd user account Firefox works perfectly. I have dragged firefox to the trash and re-installed it, I have tried deleting preferences in my library folder ~/library/preferences, and looked for files in ~/library/application support but anything I have deleted hasn't made a difference. This is just a small niggle to me as I would rather use Firefox than safari however Firefox just won't play any quicktime files within any web page unless I log into my 2nd user account on OSX which just isn't practical. Once again any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Kevin.....

Safari in Mac appears to exit the quicktime download prematurely. Unable to ID a root cause. Similar operation using Firefox allows the file to continue download and then A/V controls appear when complete. Check answers by Quicktime Kirk regarding setting a play 'flag' in such a way that allows the audio to start prior to the file being downloaded. I'm not sure where to check or adjust that quicktime parameter in iweb but other smart people probably have the answer.

IWeb questions - Youtube and Videos.

Hi,
A few quick questions
1) How do you put a link into a page so that visitors see the movie (let's say it's on Youtube) but are not directed to the actual page. Here is a link to a website that accesses one of my Youtube videos, yet it doesn't bring the visitor to Youtube.com. http://starsneverfade.com/callowayConcert.htm Here is another example of how someone access a video on my website without visiting my site. Both of these have my permission... but how was it done? http://www.davidgeist.com/rhapsodyinblue.html
2) is it possible to put a Flash movie into Iweb? I have a few people grumbling that they cannot play Quicktime movies. I hear .flv movies are more compatible with Windows based computer... augh! Why doesn't everyone just buy a Mac and make my life easier?
3) Is it possible to copy protect a video? What I'm asking is once I post a video is there a way to prevent people from downloading it?
Thanks!
Gary

I have a large collection of sample pages with video: QuickTime, Flash Video, Windows Media, DivX, Real.
http://web.mac.com/wyodor/iFrame/
You use the object/embed code and paste it in a HTML Snippet.
I usually use a separate custom HTML page to embed with the [iframe HTML element|http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/iframe.html] or [object HTML element|http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/object.html].
I have a few people grumbling that they cannot play Quicktime movies. I hear .flv movies are more compatible with Windows based computer... augh! Why doesn't everyone just buy a Mac and make my life easier?
It's not Win or Mac. It's what you want. Flash Video has advantages over QT. And DivX has advantages over Flash Video. And Vimeo has advantages over YouTube. The samples will show you.
3) Is it possible to copy protect a video? What I'm asking is once I post a video is there a way to prevent people from downloading it?
If I can watch it, I can download it.

ILife 08 to 09 iWeb question (and a question about DW while I'm here)

I was thinking of upgrading to iLife 09 for just a couple of reasons:
(1) The iPhoto face recognition feature looks cool and I want to try it. I have tens of thousands of photos of friends from nearly 30 years in my iPhoto and it might be fun.
(2) I basically like iWeb 08, but hate the way it deals with multiple sites. I always have to publish everything, but in iWeb 09 it looks like I can single out just a single site for publishing, even via FTP. is that right?
Recently I also acquired Dreamweaver because of some work I'm doing for a company. But I find I can't even do basic simple things, like drag around text or insert a web widget (some HTML in a box) to move around and position - like I can do in iWeb.
Are things like that possible in Dreamweaver?
I can't even figure out how to add new text somewhere on a blank page in Dreamweaver. And everything I create looks boxy, plain and clunky. I am obviously not a web designer - I am a web application programmer.
With Dreamweaver I feel like I stepped into some 20th century web authoring tool. With iWeb everything I create looks nice even though I have no artistic talent myself.
doug

I don't mind publishing to a folder and uploading using my FTP client, but it seems I have to publish ALL the sites each time to the folder and then just upload the one site's folder I was editing. So it takes a long time each time I publish to the folder. There is no way around that, is there?
About my DW question, it was "in comparison to iWeb". If I asked in a Dreamweaver forum if DW could do this thing that iWeb could do, somebody would probably say, "Why don;t you ask your question on an iWeb forum?"
Thanks,
doug@hoping this discussion doesn't digress into whether I should post my question here or not

Bridge gallery and iWeb questions, newbie....

Hi All....
I have made myselve a page in iWeb but I´m not happy with the gallery-layout with thumpnails and small sized pictures, I would like my galleries to be scroll down type, OR just one picture at the time and nothing else, except "Next/previous" and a "Menu" sign, either in a good (>>>big pictures) size....
I have this morning realized that I can do that in Bridge, so I have made myselve a testgallery and uploaded to my site via Bridge, and I can see in Filezilla that it is there, but I can´t see it on my page, off course because there´s no link between the two of them, the question is, how do I make my page show the gallery....???
I haven´t been able to locate the testgallery on the web, as mentioned I can see in Filezilla that it is there somewhere, but how to find it out there I don´t know....
My homepage is called www.easerfoto.dk and the gallery I have oploaded is called Bridgegallerytest, if it has any relevance....
If anyone have a page that is made in Bridge and care to share how´s, then please step forward, I´m on zero here, any tip is appreciated....;-)
Maybe I should mention that I am an complete NOOB on all this (managed to have Filezilla working first time last week), but want to learn....
Bjarke

When you created your gallery did you publish the file to a folder? And was one of the files in that folder named index.htm or html? Make sure the gallery works correctly by opening the index.html file with your browser from the gallery copy on your hard drive.
Then upload to the root directory of your account on the server. The url would be something like this: http://www.easerfoto.dk/Folder_name/index.html.
Put that URL in the iFrame code below in an HTML snippet. The iFrame code in the snippet would look like this:
<iframe height="XXXpx" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:XXXpx;border:none" src=" http://www.easerfoto.dk/Folder_name/index.html"></iframe>
Adjust the height and width dimensions to fit the size of the gallery you want on the page.
Also for what it's worth there are other gallery types of presentations, some from iPhoto with a free plugin, that might be of interest to you:

Let me clarify - im not a noob when it comes to mac & computers in general, but when it comes to web pages, how they're made, & hosted etc i have no idea!
I have been using iweb08 to make my web page for my business. Its turning out really well but there are a few things i'd like to know...
1. Can i add any flash (or moving) menus? nothing too complex but i really like those menus that expand with drop down boxes etc
2. My business is a DJ/entertainment business & id like to add some music (my own productions) to some of the pages. What is the best way of doing that?
3. Protection: how do I make sure my site doesnt get hacked? how is iweb security?
4. Google searches - how do i optimize my site to make sure it comes up well in a google search
5. Any good tutes around that may answer these questions & more? Free is good
thanks in advance

I was having the same problem with the Quicktime Question Mark appearing on web pages and emails, in both Safari 1.3.2 and Firefox 2.0.0.3. This glitch started after installing the Quicktime 7.1.6 update. I was reticent to downgrade to Quicktime 7.1.5, because 7.1.6 had some important security updates installed. I followed the advice of Quicktime Kirk and deselected FlashPlayer in Quicktime Preferences. This fixed the problem in Safari, but not in Firefox. I then went to VersionTracker.com and searched for the newest update for Adobe FlashPlayer. I installed Adobe FlashPlayer 9.0.45, and now have no problems in Firefox. It appears that this may have been a FlashPlayer problem rather than a Quicktime problem...but as long as it's working, I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Mobileme website and iweb question

how much longer will Apple host my mobileme website? Any suggestions for transitioning to a new server? Will iWeb continue to work as my web update program?

Why did you not consider doing a search of this forum first before posting a question like this? Your totally unique question is asked and answered on a daily basis on this forum.
If you had searched you would have found that MobileMe will be available until the end of June this year and if you are a registered MobileMe user, then you should have received e-mails regarding this and extending your subscription for free until the end of June.
iWeb is an application and you can continue to use it to update and publish your website - it works in Snow Leopard, Lion and will work with Mountain Lion.
Have a look at GoDaddy and HostExcellence for starters and do a search of this forum.

Quicktime with a question mark

I am trying to play some Mp4 movies that I uploaded to my MobileMe gallery and I cannot play the same on my Mac. I get a question mark within the Q symbol. No movies on my MobileMe is playing after upgrading to 10.6. Any suggestions?

Well, I am still no wiser, but will let you know if anything else occurs to me. Your movie will not play for me either. The page loads, and the poster frame loads, get a spinning pizza for maybe 20 seconds, and the a notice plastered to the bottom of the movie that QuickTime can't play it. It will download, and then plays in QT just fine. From this I'm going to assume it isn't a problem with your plugins, since it won't play for me either.
Since it was playing in QT after I downloaded it, I tried uploading it from QTX to my web gallery:
http://gallery.mac.com/francines#100086
I'll take it down of course as soon as I finish trying to figure this out. Anyway, the point is that it plays there just fine, but I quickly discovered that QTX had converted it to the m4v format for the two larger versions, and to a 3gp format for the smallest version.
So I wondered if the mp4 format was the problem. I seem to have disposed of most of my mp4s online, but did find one still up:
http://homepage.mac.com/francines/.Movies/kenstr.html
Oddly enough in the web page it plays in the QT7 plugin (you can tell by the control bar), but downloaded it plays in QTX. And if I drag the downloaded mp4 into the Safari window it plays with QTX, as does the download I did of your movie!
And I am indeed running Snow Leopard, and have been working on my review here:
http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/snowleo1.html
It is working surprisingly well. This is the first real glitch that I can't understand AT ALL that I've run into.
One final question: how did you get your movie into your Gallery? I ask because there are several different ways to do that. As I mentioned above, I put your movie up using the QTX Player, went to the Share menu and selected MobileMe Gallery.

IPhoto and iWeb Question

If you create an album in iPhoto and you decide to also publish it as a MobileMe Gallery you will see both in the left hand sidebar in iPhoto - the regular album and the published album - all is well.
You are able to drop EITHER of these into an iWeb photopage. Here is teh question:
Is there any advantage/disadvantage to using one of these albums as "the iweb one"?
I ask as I dropped a gallery which is posted on MobileMe and then WITHIN iWeb I started to delete some of the pictures within that album - not sure if that updates the album in iPhoto/MobileMe or not but it made me think that perhaps this isn't the best way to do it. Any thoughts appreciated.
Steve

Steve:
If you create a MMe gallery from an album you will have both the album and MMe gallery in the left hand iPhoto pane. The MMe gallery icon can be seen in the Media browser in iWeb but the photos are not viewable nor is it able to be dragged into any iWeb page. You need either an album or event to be able to drag into iWeb.
If you drag an album into iWeb and then delete photos from it the album in iPhoto is not affected nor would the MMe gallery created by that album.

Quicktime icon has question mark on it

Hi,
When I click on some websites,not all, I cannot get in and the screen changes to a Quicktime icon that has question mark on top of it.
I use Mac G5, Panther, FireFox.
Thank you!

For a long time now I'v been also plagued with the same problem Q w/?. until today!! after reading all your problems I figure it out.
I have tried Firefox, Netscrape, Safari and Opera and even an old copy of internet explorer and keep on getting the Q&?.
So I said, what the heck and went for it. Here is what I did. I have a G4 laptop running Mac OS 10.4.10 but I'v been lazy on doing up dates cause I only use it when I'm out in the field doing a photo-shoot. The problem machine was my Dual 2 GHz Power Mac G5 running Mac OS 10.5.
Heres the fix, try this. All I did was copy the folder in your system "library/Internet Plug-Ins" folder from the laptop to the G5 and restart Safari and now everything works with no "Q?" .

IWeb question and feedback

I've been testing iWeb '08 and putting it through its paces. It really does a good job if you know what you are doing. It is way more capable then the easy templates reveal. But first I have a question.
If I want to include an external javascript file with a page, how do I get iWeb to publish it with all the other data? Right now I have to manually copy it to my publish folder after every time I publish. Not a very elegant solution.
I also have one big request for the next version of iWeb. For some pages, I want to make the browser background transparent. HTML allows this but not iWeb. iWeb only offers a solid color or image. It would be so easy for Apple to include a "none" option for this field like they do the page background. Here's why this little detail is so important.
When I use HTML snippets, I can put one iWeb page within another using iframes. I also overlay iframes for various effect. I need the embedded page browser backgrounds to be transparent so when the inline frame refreshes, the browser background doesn't wipe the iframe clean each time. This is what it does without the transparent option. It makes the whole inline frame look like a refresh instead of keeping the existing objects solid, except for the specific objects I want to change. It may seem a small detail but this goes a long way to making the site look solid and professional. Using transparent iframe overlays allows me to do some pretty nifty looking pages.
Right now I have to post-process my files using a utility that does a multi-file find and replace. It is fast but it still is a hack job - not very Apple-like or elegant. What I end up doing is having every page that I want to be transparent use a certain known color code (ie. #000000) that I then search for and replace with the word "transparent". This does the trick, but again, not the way things should be with Apple software.
This change I'm requesting in iWeb is not anything unreasonable or hard to implement. One Apple tech could do this in about 5 minutes. This opens iWeb up to doing iframes elegantly and enables iWeb to do amazing things without post-processing hacks. I know Apple wants to keep things simple but this one change does not jeopardize this for beginners, yet opens things up to us who are capable. It could make complex pages simple.
Actually, I wish Apple would go even further and add a new option at the bottom next to web widgets. Call it the iFrame, or subpage, option. That way I could do inline frames without even resorting to HTML snippets. Have the details come up in the inspector too. This is more complex to add but even a more elegant solution. Newbies and simple templates could ignore this function but advanced web designers would flock to it.

You are just talking to other users here, so make sure you also put in all your requests to Apple via the Provide iWeb Feedback item in the iWeb menu.
