Hi

I have embedded a .mov file into a web page but it doesn't work - the file is there and can be found

here's a direct link to the file
http://www.chaises-lacroix.com/DiapoMini.mov

this is the page - it's actually a pop-up but that shouldn't make any difference
http://www.chaises-lacroix.com/diapo.html

and here's the code I'm using to embed the file
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="260" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<PARAM name="src" VALUE="http://www.chaises-lacroix.com/DiapoMini.mov">
<PARAM name="autoplay" VALUE="true">
<PARAM name="controller" VALUE="false">
<EMBED
TYPE="video/quicktime"
SRC="http://www.chaises-lacroix.com/DiapoMini.mov"
WIDTH="320"
HEIGHT="260"
AUTOPLAY="true"
CONTROLLER="false">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

the file definitely plays as it should when it's on my local machine so i think it must be a problem with the player embed code

can anyone help with this ?

thanks

Take a look at this article: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/byebyeembed
There are a few tweaks that you need to do to your coding to make it cross-browser accessible.

I tried running your QT movie but it doesn't play. Also downloaded and tried to play it independently. My QT V7.3 does not understand the file. It gets and error 2048 saying it doesn't understnad the file. Windows XP SP2 platform

that's strange because it runs on my XP SP2 machine with the same QT version as yours

I use FileZilla for uploading - i'm going to check and see if there's not a problem with that

Hi, Yes it is strange. When I hit the link to the .mov directly i.e. http://www.chaises-lacroix.com/DiapoMini.mov I get the same response a big boue Q with a Question mark inside of it. Can't offer you anything more. Sorry. Best Regards Paul
