[MacDV] Quicktime problem

[Mark M. Florida]

That usually has to do with MIME type mappings on the web server.  Usually
if you ask the hosting provider to add a MIME type for you it shouldn't be a
problem.  You should also be able to add the MIME information if you embed
the QuickTime movie in it's own HTML page, rather than linking to it
directly.

Here's a sample embed tag you can use as a reference:

<embed width="320" height="256"
pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"
src="path/to/quicktime.mov" type="video/quicktime" controller="true"
autoplay="true">

Note:  if you have the "controller" attribute set to "true" then you need to
add 16 pixels to the height of the movie to make room for the controller
without causing the movie to lose proportion.

There's more info on embedding QuickTime movies on web pages on Apple's
site.

Hope that helps.
