Quicktime streaming

[javabear90]

For some reason I cannot get my movie to work with the quicktime plugin. My movie (http://charon.sjs.org/~ted/movies/BRCT/small2.mov ) seems to play but it takes for ever to load. I have tried the source thing. Here is the acuall page for it http://charon.sjs.org/~ted/images/BRCT/brct -small.html You can view the source to see if I did the plugin correctly. Something of interest is that it is a quicktime slideshow that I made in iMovie. I did the hinting thing, and preparation for streaming, I have also checked my code over and over again, and it is still not working, HELP!

a ha! it plays.. it was in a tab and all of the sudden started playing! However ( ) I would like it to stream ( I think thats it) where it plays automaticly. And so it plays while downloading.

Here is an example from the apple site...try doing exactly like that.(just changing the names and size.


<param name="AUTOPLAY" value="true">
<param name="CONTROLLER" value="TRUE">
<param name="cache" value="FALSE">
<param name="pluginspage" value="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/indext.html">
<param name="target" value="myself">
<param name="type" value="video/quicktime">
<param name="SRC" value="INSERT NAME HERE">
<embed width="480" height="286" src="INSERT NAME HERE" autoplay=TRUE controller="TRUE" border="0" cache="FALSE" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/indext.html" target="myself"></embed>


I could be completely wrong but its the first thing that came to mind.

no, that dosn't work... It plays after 10 minutes thogh, just like the others.

I originally tried this cod :
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="256" width="320">
<param name="src" value="yourmovie.mov">
<param name="autoplay" value="true">
<param name="controller" value="true">
<embed height="256" width="320" src="yourmovie.mov" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" type="video/quicktime" controller="true" autoplay="true">
</object>


it worked with the other movie just fine, but this it dosn't

How fast is your Internet connection? If the bitrate of the video is higher than the bandwidth of your connection, then it will spend a long time buffering before it starts to play. For example, if your connection is 100 kb/s and the video is 200 kb/s, it will need to download 50% of the video before it can start playing.

it is fast enough, also that is not the problem because i don't even see anything except the quicktime symbol, whereas on all of the others I see the 1st frame of the movie and the little staus bar below.

Here is a very good tutorial on how to stream and embed properly. I used it to make some of my streaming video on my website (which, btw, I ended up not using). DreamWeaver
Plain HTML
