Code to enlarge/shrink browser's embedded quicktime player

2009-01-22 Thread David Karapetyan
I was wondering if it was possible to generate code that would allow my 
clients to shrink or enlarge their quicktime players when playing 
lecture videos from my server. I know one can embed players into html 
code; however, wheat I specifically want is for someone to be able to 
click on a particular file in my apache server directory and then, when 
it begins streaming, have it play via a quicktime embedded interface 
that gives the client the option to manipulate its size. Ideally, I 
would like to generate a single bit of html code that can apply to all 
the files (rather than generate a series of href anchors for each). Can 
this be done?

An idea that would come to my mind would be this:

1. Let the lecture content (QT video) be handeled by an external
   program, i. e. mplayer.

2. If the content has been selected and the download / downstream
   starts, mplayer plays it, and (according to the window manager
   used) mplayer's window can be changed in size. Or, more easily,
   the key f can be pressed to put mplayer into fullscreen mode.

This would only require changes on the clients' site.
