quicktime video in page....

[Allie1138]

Hi everyone,
In a website, in the html, i posted code for a quicktime video to automatically play on a page. Well the file size is a bit large, so you just see the quicktime logo for a while then it starts to play.... and it doesnt stream or show that loading/streaming bar that you see in other quicktime movies on sites such as quicktime.com (the movie trailers). Why is my mov file not showing the streambar..

how can I get some kind of loading/streaming bar to show??

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I'd imagine that these are settings within the person's own quicktime plugin or settings on your movie and not anything you can change in HTML.

I don't really have any experince
with quicktime delivery so I'm guessing but that seems logical to me... anyone else?

Yeah I think I have it pointing to the plugin... and ive tried some javascript file. I dont know if Im doing it right or what?
Anyone know how to make an mov stream??

You embed the movie or whatever and can add something like <PARAM name="CONTROLLER" VALUE="true">. Quicktime Pro gives you all kinds of options for exporting, compressing etc... Well worth the $29.95 or whatever it is.

Thanks,
Actually, thats what I ended up doing. I got Quicktime Pro and it creates streaming mov's. Its so simple!!!

Thanks so much

Yay! QT Pro is even semi fun to edit with. It works anyway.
