What's the best way to do it?

Thanks!

Well with all do respect to QuickTime, my suggestion on the best way to resolve this is to convert the video to a .flv and use or create a player which at the end of the video will display the still image via an xml file or movie clip.
Or if you still want to use the QuickTime… how about you just put the still image in the last frame of the movie? You’ve already got your loop set to false… Will that stop it?
Do you want this last image to be interactive or just stay there?

Oh and just a small point about the Web page... I would suggest you get rid of the large black space above the player, it pushes the page links down "below the fold" so to speak. Since many of us still have 1024 X monitors, I can't see the links without scrolling, and there's really no indication that I would need to do that… so I may not.

I do need to get rid of the margin

as for the FLV, I want to try that when I get the change to. But I am still unclear on what's needed. Do I need to buy or download an embedded Flash video player? Does the visitor only need Flash on their end to be able to view this?

Thanks in advance,

I just downloaded your entire video, 105 MB. Sorry but .mov is just not an Internet friendly format. Very few if any viewers will wait the time needed to download this huge video file. Here’s what I’ll do…
I’ve transcoded your 105 MB file into a .flv file of 5 MB (320 x 240 res @ 400kbps bitrate) and here is a link so you can see it played at 2 different resolutions .. 320 x 240 (most common Internet size) and also a larger version, 480 x 360. Same video so the quality is degraded, (same number of bits spread out over a larger area). So in order to maintain the same quality, the file size would need to increase by about 300%. … this would mean an increase in the bitrate from 400kbps to at least 800kbps. The more bits of video you have, the more they can be spread out over the screen. This custom player also uses an xml file for the Playlist, Video Caption, and the Welcome.

As far as the Flash part is concerned, if you don't do your own Flash development, search for a Flash video player on the Internet. It is the device that plays the video but it is (usually) not the video itself. The Flash object that you will finally code (and or embed) into your HTML page will be a Flash .swf file. It will take the Flash .flv video file and play it. Any viewer that has the Flash pluggin already installed in their Web browser will then be able to go to your page, load the Flash .swf file which will then play the Flash .flv file. But you need to code in the player on your page. View the source on my test page for a sample of how it’s done.
And as an aside, after playing the video shown above, you can go to the cache in your temp Internet pages and grab a copy of the .flv file…. on me. Hey.. I may just want to visit 6th Street sometime.
