Embeding Quicktime in HTML

 So my friend was in need of embedding a Quicktime movie into her website, but of course all that Dreamweaver seems to support is Flash, and Flash videos. Anyways knowing it that at some point I’d need to do this same thing at some point, and I figured that I would blog about it here so that other people can see this as well!

<OBJECT classid=’clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B’ codebase=’http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab’>
This is a very basic, we use the Object to declare the video, and give it an id and a Codebase so that the browser can use the right codec.
<param name=’src’ value=”my.mov”>
So this is the actual movie, just replace “my.mov” with what ever your movie name is.
<param name=’autoplay’ value=”true”>
The autoplay is useful for portfolios and demo reels.
<param name=’controller’ value=”true”>
You can turn any of these parameters off, Controller just means that there is a play and pause button.
<EMBED src=”my.mov” autoplay=”true” width=”720″ height=”500″
controller=”true” loop=”true” pluginspage=’http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/’>
</EMBED>
So this is simply a recap of everything that we have set up in the parameters.

Amazingly it is THAT simple.
