Did you embed the Quicktime videos in HTML?
If you link directly to the video file the way FreeVlog suggests, then

The newer codec you mention is probably h.264
It can also be known as Mpeg4 part 10, and Mpeg4 AVC.
Its a better, newer version of mpeg4 that gives higher quality
results, or smaller files, or a bit of both (depending on what you set
the bitrate to) compared to old normal mpeg4.

The PHP script is really simple. If you have any basic scripting
experience it should be a cake-walk. I was going to include it in the

Verdi are working on.

Your embedded player advise is sound and certainly will deal with some
of the quicktime issues. But I really think your assumption about how
many PCs have quicktime installed already is wrong, theres a lot that
dont.
iTunes and the ipod help, they have certainly gotten quicktime onto a
lot more
Eh, whatever... I'll send this to the group.
Here's the php script (attached .txt file... just rename to .php).
