RE: [WSG] embedding quicktime .mov cross-platform
I don't allow QuickTime to be installed on any of our machines either. Is there a reason why you can't use a file format that has a larger installed user base? Most non-Mac users won't have QuickTime.

Re: [WSG] embedding quicktime .mov cross-platform
I agree with Steve and Nancy. Have you tried to convert .mov into .mpeg, or similar? Try using sourceforge.net to locate some file format converters. And as far as embedding a movie or similar, have you searched alistapart.com ? And might I suggest http://www.delicious.com/irontombraider? I have a bunch of different links on there. -- Brett P.

Re: [WSG] embedding quicktime .mov cross-platform
My recommendation is that you convert the movies to FLV and use a standard Flash FLV player. You'll find better support that way, and you can do things like basic streaming, rather than just putting the videos on the page with object or embed. -- -- Christian Montoya mappdev.com :: christianmontoya.net *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
Re: [WSG] embedding quicktime .mov cross-platform
I will have to concur with Christian on the issue of presenting any videos. Look at Youtube and they do use Flash video for the maximum exposure to the audience. Quicktime doesn't always work for every computer due to other complications in conflicting with other video codecs, installation issues, browser's plug-in working with Quicktime failure, etc. That goes for Windows Media Player. Flash is the ultimate cross-browser/operating system software. -Josh Simpson On Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 3:52 PM, Christian Montoya siro...@gmail.comwrote: My recommendation is that you convert the movies to FLV and use a standard Flash FLV player.
