Running Quicktime movie in webpage on CD

[vmarasigan]

I'm re-creating a client's website as an autorun website on CD. He would like one addition, however: an autoplaying Quicktime movie in a corner of the homepage.

How do I go about embedding this movie on the page and making sure that it can be seen by those who run the CD? What will happen if someone viewing CD doesn't have the QT plug-in already installed in their browser?

That would depend both on the browser configuration and the plugins as long as you supply the correct mime type you'll have the browser fallback method assuming the browser is web-enabled, although you can add more fail-safes.


<object data="sample.mov" type="video/quicktime" width="200" height="200”>
<param name="autoplay" value="true" />
</object>


But obviously we are touching upon propriety methodology here.
