This is absolutely not true. You can do anything you were doing before, you just need to code the site differently.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: why you now have an error on all your pages
I just did the fix. Heres what I did (the following information is
simply reiterated from:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html )
#1
First I downloaded this .js java file from Apple:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/licensejs.html
Inside that zip package is a file called:
AC_QuickTime.js
I renamed this file to a filename that I like:
rb_java.js
#2
Then, I uploaded this file to my server. I decided to create a new
folder called 'js' and put the file in there. Thus, the url to access
the file is now:
http://www.rocketboom.com/js/rb_java.js
#3
Then I went into my template and inserted the following code into the
header:
http://www.rocketboom.com/js/rb_java.js";
language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
Obviously, you would replace the src value above with your own URL to
the newly uploaded file found in step #2 above.
Remember, the above code must be pasted anywhere after the and
before the
#4
Finally, I went to the part in my HTML where I have the with
the embed. I cut out the object, everything from to .
I replaced it with the following java script code:
QT_WriteOBJECT_XHTML('http://www.rocketboom.net/video/
rb_06_apr_14.mov', '320', '256', '',
'autoplay', 'true',
'emb#bgcolor', 'black',
'align', 'middle');
I actually used widescreen dimensions, 480x286.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: why you now have an error on all your pages
Andrew, I'm gonna level with you: You're hosed. Microsoft has hosed you. Me, too. I didn't want a "click to download" interface on my videos. I wanted a "you go to my site and click play to play" interface. Microsoft has completely killed that as an option. Completely. In one "update," they have downgraded the Internet. They suck. They're a sucky bunch of sucks and I don't mind saying so. Your other option is to use a browser-detect JavaScript to see if a web browser is IE or anything else, and use an embed for everything except IE. My suggestion, if you go that route, is to include a link to upgrade people's web browsers to Firefox in the IE version of your site. I thought about doing this, and probably will, but am too frustrated today and took the easy way out. --Stephanie On 4/16/06, andrew michael baron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This method that Enric has created will not work for me because it > requires the user to click on a posterframe in order to start the > video.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: why you now have an error on all your pages
I have a lightweight JS function I use, and fast start works just fine. The user has to click the poster frame to start the video, but at that point the embed is created and fast start .. starts ... no need to wait for download. http://www.davidmeade.comOn 4/16/06, andrew michael baron <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote:This method that Enric has created will not work for me because it requires the user to click on a posterframe in order to start thevideo.

This method that Enric has created will not work for me because it requires the user to click on a posterframe in order to start the video.

By the way, you might want to rethink not updating your code. IE 7 will only be released in beta form this summer. Odds are that the general user will not have the beta on their system until it goes final. While there is no official word on the when the Final IE 7 will be released, if it's anything like Vista...well...

Michael,Hold My Beer and Watch This (http://mortaine.blogspot.com) is broken via the ActiveX issue. If you need to test, go there.I skipped over the MSIE stuff because I figured (a) MS would have to be utter idiots to court widespread webmaster hatred like that, and (b) it probably didn't apply to me anyway, since I don't care if my site works in MSIE-- if other people can't be bothered to design their sites to work in the web browser I use, then why should I return the courtesy? --StephanieOn 4/16/06, Michael Verdi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I'd like to second Bill's thoughts about helping people.

[videoblogging] Re: why you now have an error on all your pages
An easy way to be "clear" is to say what you mean and mean what you say. By stating "I'm pretty sure you are not clear" could indicate that I am not clear on what is being said. Stating "I dont think your site is clear" means a whole other thing. Stating "I went to your site and it is not clear from the IE error" is yet another statement. Words words words...they do mean so many things.

Bev, I think most peeps can't keep up with the volume on this list, I know I many days just don't read anything on here. And re the tech stuff, I'd bet most on here, as I am too, are wondering what the extent of this particular Microsoft issue. Lists such as these are about respect. If someone disses the list or individuals on the list it simply wrong. My statement is not aimed at anyone in particular, dissing simply happens on occasion for whatever reason and it should be corrected. And my definition of diss extends beyond simple rudeness, there are other ways to disrespect the membership.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: why you now have an error on all your pages
I'd like to second Bill's thoughts about helping people. That's the point of this group. That being said I don't feel like this issue is solved for people until we can really test these solutions out. I just downloaded all the updates for Windows and IE that I could find and I don't get the active x warning box on anything. I'd love to get it so that I can verify what solutions work. Personally, I don't understand enough to read the documentation and be able to tell if something will work.

The thing is that this group was set up to help people. I've always had the attitude that no matter how often a particular issue comes up on the list I always will answer it if I have the answer. Sometimes the solutions to the issue changes, and sometimes the person asking is new and hasn't searched the archives (and if you've ever had the experience of trying to search the group archives you know it's not a good way of finding an answer--especially if you don't know exactly what terms you might be looking for).

Yes, shame on those who don't read every message on this list. In fact, I don't know why we bother to answer questions that are clearly answered on the FreeVlog site, or can be easily be Googled, or have been discussed a million times before, for that matter. Want to know if anyone uses a Panasonic PV-GS150? Sorry, buddy, that was a week ago. Quicktime or AVI? Beat it buddy. Geez, man. I'm sorry that I missed the previous discussion of this, and clearly this Andrew fellow of some unknown site called Rocketboom must similarly be a loser of some kind to also be somewhat surprised by this development. But thanks to Andrew for passing on the note from Milan which included the link to Apple's page about this: http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html Which was a genuinely helpful post, as was Jen's reminder that there's a FreeVlog update. > Besides, not taking the measures to properly present your work to your > viewers *is* the responsibility of the owner of the site. Not anyone > elses. For cryin' out loud, David, where exactly have I suggesting anything different? Hell, I was in fact asking, as the "owner of the site," how to best "properly present [my] work to my viewers." I didn't say, for example, "Damn Microsoft for screwing us!" I asked if it was just MSIE for Windows or if other browsers/platforms were affected. Seemed a pretty reasonably inquiry to me. And I don't think prefacing my question with "yipe" qualifies as coming crying to the list, either. Anyway. I guess the change will cause content providers to be deluged with complaints if they don't adjust their code... but I think a fair number of folks will continue to see the growing annoyances related to MSIE and find yet another excuse to migrate to another browser. And that's certainly a good thing. - -- Ryan HawaiiVog.com -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP Desktop 9.0.6 (Build 6060) Comment: http://www.lightfantastic.org/pgp.txt iQA/AwUBREHi7c/o8udD/KcXEQI97QCgtrWzFtE1yuOjkfqQ0oeazQce46sAnifo fOlfvvb040r4d0tikQqDvW4+ =dq2/ -END PGP SIGNATURE- Yahoo!

I'll see your sarcasm and raise you a "tough shit". It's assumed that if one joins this list, then one reads the posts here. If you arent reading the posts, then why join the group? Besides, not taking the measures to properly present your work to your viewers *is* the responsibility of the owner of the site. Not anyone elses. Once I knew that the active-x changes were coming from MS, both being announced on this list AND a multitude of other sites reporting it, I took measures to fix the problem. There is a warning on the "Home" section of this group about the number of emails this list can produce AND offers a solution. Dont come crying when you cant keep up.

Yes. You are wrong. My fully patched version of IE 6 and my install of IE 7 display no errors in loading or playing the movies. Enric's plug-in calls a java script. You can go read more about it here... http://utilities.cinegage.com/videos-playing-in-place/ Like I said, this was all brought up a while ago on this list.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: why you now have an error on all your pages
well my embeds are written by a _javascript_ onclick event ... perhaps thats enough to avoid the problem?

David, I could be wrong on this, but I'm pretty sure you are not clear. I had a look at your site and you use the embed code inside an object.

ActiveX loophole information from a web developer RocketBoom, Well, it finally hapenned over the weekend, and the long awaited Eolas technology patent caught up to Microsoft. Instead of paying Eolas for using their multimedia patent, Microsoft decided to put up a warning everytime ActiveX is used. Microsoft put out a lot of patches over the weekend, and one of them blocks activeX content as a default. The reason this becomes important is that your homepage now has a big warning dialog box everytime my Internet Explorer for Windows browser comes on. I sent you a screen capture from my browser the last time I tried to get on. It says "Click to run activeX" control on this webpage. Every time. Like even if I click onto another page and then click back. I don't know about you, but my logs show roughly 90 % of my users on Windows using Internet Explorer. You might get a few e-mails about this. Microsoft, being the richest and most powerful company on earth, opted to not pay patent royalty rights for a company which legitimately filled out the paperwork to get patents. Their resulting error message pushes this responsibility onto the content creators. So now developers have to find creative ways to get around this. Luckily for your web developer, he or she has to deal. The currently loopholed accepted way of doing this is writing javascript code to bypass the patent. It does not actually do anything differently. You simply use a dynamic write statement instead of writing the code directly. Apple wrote up a page for these types of scripts. Please note, the last paragraph on the link below is their caveat; if someone has javaScript turned off on their browsers, they will bypass your content entirely.
