Trouble with Embed code in HTML

[abhijit_sur]

Hello All,
New to HTML and web designing. Would appreciate any help and directions from the team for my personal web site that I am working on. I am using the following code (to present the DV video converted through Handbrake) on my web site:
<table border='0' cellpadding='0' align="center">
<tr><td>
<OBJECT classid='clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B' width="320" height="255" codebase='http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab'>
<param name='src' value="media/demoreel.mp4"></param>
<param name='autoplay' value="false"></param>
<param name='controller' value="true"></param>
<param name='loop' value="false"></param>
<EMBED src="media/demoreel.mp4" width="320" height="255" autoplay="false" controller="true" loop="false" pluginspage='http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/'>
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 350px; padding-top: 10px"> <p style="font-size: 15;" align="center"><strong>Demo Reel</strong></p></td>
</tr>
</table>

Here is the problem that I am trying to resolve:
1. When the page loads up, it displays a white text box - Press Spacebar or Enter to activate and use this control. Is there a way to disable this popup from occurring
2. My video file is pretty huge. While the video is being downloaded, is there a way I can display an icon that displays the % od download. I have seen such icons for mostof my downloads.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Abhi.
