Perhaps you could 'build' the dynamic url in seperately, and then just use one echo to include it in the QT_WriteOBJECT
eg. $url = "http://www.mysite.com/media_files/"; . $uid . "/" . $row['media_tra_name']; then. QT_WriteOBJECT('<?php echo $url; ?>', '300', '256', '', 'AUTOPLAY', 'True', 'SCALE', 'Aspect'); Honestly it probably won't make a difference, unless for some VERY strange reason it just prefers one echo in there instead of 2. The other thing that is could possibly be is that your MPEG4 videos aren't in a format that can be played by the iPhone. After watching the developer track from WWDC, it was fairly clear that there are a lot of things to take into account for displaying video on the iPhone.
