Add Movie Controller, Automatically Start Playing, Embedding Progressive-Streaming QuickTime

Page 134 highlights

126 Chapter 7: Formats •Add Movie Controller - puts the standard QuickTime controller under the movie when it appears in your page. We generally recommend that you enable this feature. •Automatically Start Playing - makes the movie start playing once a significant portion has downloaded. •Loop - plays the movie over and over. Generally, you should only use this in special cases. Embedding Progressive-Streaming QuickTime You can place a QuickTime movie, including alternate versions, on a normal HTTP or FTP server. When the viewer accesses this movie, it plays as it downloads. This is often referred to as progressive or HTTP streaming. To place a QuickTime movie on an HTTP server, include the QuickTime embed tag in the HTML page where you want the movie to play. Upload the movie and your modified Web page to the same folder on your HTTP server. See "Creating QuickTime Embed Tags" on page 125 for more details on using Cleaner to create the HTML embed tags. If you are making QuickTime alternate movies, embed the master movie (which ends with _MSTR) in your Web page, then upload the master, the alternates and the Web page to the same folder on your HTTP server. See "Embedding Alternates" on page 121. Embedding RealTime Streaming QuickTime Once you have encoded the QuickTime movies with settings appropriate for realtime streaming, you must upload them to a properly configured QuickTime Server. You must not put your Streaming QuickTime movies on a regular HTTP or FTP server - doing so causes the movies to be delivered via progressive streaming. Embedding RealTime Streaming Single Versions To embed a single version of a realtime-streaming QuickTime movie on your site, use the embed tag Cleaner creates or create your own with an HTML editor that supports QuickTime 4 or later. If you use the HTML code created by Cleaner, this embed tag automatically references both the streaming version located on your QuickTime Streaming Server and a single-frame fallback located on your HTTP server for viewers with older versions of QuickTime installed. See "Backwards Compatibility" on page 104 for more details about this fallback file. To embed the single-version streaming QuickTime file, copy and paste the HTML Cleaner created into your Web page and then upload the modified Web page and the fallback movie, named QuickTime4_Required.mov, to the same folder on your HTTP server - do not upload this single frame movie to the QuickTime Streaming Server.

Add Movie Controller
— puts the standard QuickTime controller under the movie when
it appears in your page. We generally recommend that you enable this feature.
Automatically Start Playing
— makes the movie start playing once a significant portion
has downloaded.
Loop
— plays the movie over and over. Generally, you should only use this in special cases.
Embedding Progressive-Streaming QuickTime
You can place a QuickTime movie, including alternate versions, on a normal HTTP or FTP
server. When the viewer accesses this movie, it plays as it downloads. This is often referred to
as progressive or HTTP streaming.
To place a QuickTime movie on an HTTP server, include the QuickTime embed tag in the
HTML page where you want the movie to play. Upload the movie and your modified Web page
to the same folder on your HTTP server. See “Creating QuickTime Embed Tags” on page 125
for more details on using Cleaner to create the HTML embed tags.
If you are making QuickTime alternate movies, embed the master movie (which ends with
_MSTR) in your Web page, then upload the master, the alternates and the Web page to the same
folder on your HTTP server. See “Embedding Alternates” on page 121.
Embedding RealTime Streaming QuickTime
Once you have encoded the QuickTime movies with settings appropriate for realtime
streaming, you must upload them to a properly configured QuickTime Server. You must not
put your Streaming QuickTime movies on a regular HTTP or FTP server — doing so causes the
movies to be delivered via progressive streaming.
Embedding RealTime Streaming Single Versions
To embed a single version of a realtime-streaming QuickTime movie on your site, use the
embed tag Cleaner creates or create your own with an HTML editor that supports QuickTime
4 or later.
If you use the HTML code created by Cleaner, this embed tag automatically references both the
streaming version located on your QuickTime Streaming Server and a single-frame fallback
located on your HTTP server for viewers with older versions of QuickTime installed. See
“Backwards Compatibility” on page 104 for more details about this fallback file.
To embed the single-version streaming QuickTime file, copy and paste the HTML Cleaner
created into your Web page and then upload the modified Web page and the fallback movie,
named QuickTime4_Required.mov, to the same folder on your HTTP server — do not upload
this single frame movie to the QuickTime Streaming Server.
