price Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Can anyone advise me on how to install quicktime movies onto my website, please? Images are no problem,but if I try to install Q/T in a similar manner, it won't have it, so obviously I'm doing summat wrong. I'm on XP if that's of any help. One more thing, I seem to be getting a lot of Error Reports,maybe 3 or 4 a week is that acceptable, is anyone else having this annoying, but not desperate, problem?

DaFoot Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 install movies files on a website? Do you mean you want the html code to embed a movie in your own website or that you can't view a movie that someone else has on their site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr chris Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Quicktime movies need to be embedded as far as I know. Apple's site has some tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
price Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hi dafoot, Yes I want to embed a Q/T movie on my website. Can you make your instructions as simple as possible please? 'Cos I'm not very bright and I haven't fully embraced the technology yet. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFoot Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 You need to embed the movie in your page, which requires a bit more code that a simple <img src="pic.jpg"/> tag. Depending on the browser viewing the page there are differing methods that can /should be used for compatability. I think the <object> element is the official 'correct' way to do it ( W3C ) however, like I said for compatability reasons you may be better using the code found here.

DaFoot Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 If you use the code from that 2nd tutorial, change the uri of the video ( .mov ) to point at your vid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaFoot Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 You could use something like: <a href="../movies/movie.mov">clicky</a> and hope the browser figures out what to do when clicked, but you wanted to embed it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
