QuickTime 127 Once you have uploaded the Web page and fallback to your HTTP server, you should upload the streaming version to the location on your QuickTime Server that was specified in the Streaming Server Paths section of the Preferences dialog or the Set Server Path panel of the Output tab. If you checked the Create HTML option in the Output tab, you can also refer to the streaming server path in the embed tag of the HTML file to see the location. Embedding RealTime Streaming Alternates If you are using realtime streaming alternate movies, you should embed the master movie in the HTML, then upload the master movie, any progressive-streaming versions and the modified Web page to the same folder on your HTTP server. After you have done this, upload all the realtime streaming alternates to your QuickTime Server in the locations you specified in the Custom Path field in the Alternate tab. You can refer to the Readme file to see the specified locations for each alternate. See your QuickTime Streaming Server documentation for more details of placing movies on a streaming server. QuickTime MIME Types You should make sure that your HTTP or FTP server has its MIME types set properly to support QuickTime. Adding the following line to its MIME types file may help if it isn't already properly configured: "video/quicktime qt mov" Special QuickTime Options QuickTime is the most versatile of the major streaming architectures. To take advantage of this, you can access to several QuickTime-specific options, such as Web posters, QT FX tracks and End Frame URL links. Auto-Play in QuickTime Player QuickTime 4 and later enables movies to be marked so that they automatically play when opened in the QuickTime Player. Movies can also be displayed at normal or full size on a black screen when opened in the QuickTime Player. This is the same as using the Present Movie option in the QuickTime Player. On Mac OS, the Present Movie - Full screen option automatically switches the monitor's display resolution to the lowest settings that can hold the entire image. On Windows, it leaves the resolution the same and scales the movie to fit the screen, which is very computer intensive and may affect the smoothness of the movie's playback. If you are creating cross-platform movies, you should be careful when using the full-screen option unless you know that all the viewers of the movie have lower-resolution displays.

QuickTime MIME Types
You should make sure that your HTTP or FTP server has its MIME types set properly to
support QuickTime. Adding the following line to its MIME types file may help if it isn’t already
properly configured:
“video/quicktime qt mov”
Special QuickTime Options
QuickTime is the most versatile of the major streaming architectures. To take advantage of this,
you can access to several QuickTime-specific options, such as Web posters, QT FX tracks and
End Frame URL links.
Auto-Play in QuickTime Player
QuickTime 4 and later enables movies to be marked so that they automatically play when
opened in the QuickTime Player. Movies can also be displayed at normal or full size on a black
screen when opened in the QuickTime Player. This is the same as using the Present Movie
option in the QuickTime Player.
On Mac OS, the Present Movie – Full screen option automatically switches the monitor’s
display resolution to the lowest settings that can hold the entire image. On Windows, it leaves
the resolution the same and scales the movie to fit the screen, which is very computer intensive
and may affect the smoothness of the movie’s playback. If you are creating cross-platform
movies, you should be careful when using the full-screen option unless you know that all the
viewers of the movie have lower-resolution displays.
