It's fifteen times as much code as a normal link. That counts as being  
harder. You need both object and embed elements to get full support in  
browsers, so you also need to put in the video URL twice.

That main issue here it that the QT plugin will be loaded once for each  
video. Just loading it once is a significant memory increase. The pop-up  
is a great solution for many. It only loads the QT plugin when it's  
needed. It's not perfect for everyone - I like having the player in the  
same window so I personally use some javascript-fu to have an image that  
it replaced by the QT player when someone clicks to play. Different  
solutions for different people. My computer is over 4 years old, poster  
frames or not a page with 15 embedded QT players brings my computer to a  
halt.
