With the current QuickTime it works fine in Windows. I was using QT mainly because I needed to put captions in the video and html controls on the page. I also wanted to use mp4 for it's smaller size/higher quality. My sample code links in a SMIL file for captions. QT has most of the basic controls accessible via Javascript so I could make links to toggle audio, captions and playback. This calls were
document.movie1.Play() document.movie1.Stop() document.movie1.SetMute(muted) document.movie1.SetTrackEnabled(2,caption) - caption is either true or false where the embed tag for the quicktime sets the ID to be 'movie1' CB Alex Jurgensen wrote: > Hi, > > Windows can't play this.
