Quicktime iframe?

**sadicus** · 24 May 2010, 01:09 PM

Greetings, looking for Quicktim and Xara workflow.

What is the most efficient way to use QT export to web and place the vids in XXP5?

QT export to web.
It then generates the html code and vids, with these instructions:
Use this code in the <head> of your web page:
Use this code in the <body> of your web page:

If I edit the htm page, and place the code, it changes my centered placement. (and i'm not sure where inbetween the other code to place this code)

Is this a situation I would use a placeholder iframe , and source the video files?

cheers!

Without seeing the QT output code I haven't a clue.

However, it you are just wanting to embed a .MOV then you can use something like this in a placeholder:

Thanks, that is a good resource!

I'd like to test this locally, so I'm not sure if the auto code will work for me right now.

I have all my files in one folder on the desktop.
This is the path I currently have. (xara master file is in there too.)

Code:

param name='src' value="C:\Users\Name\Desktop\WEB TEST\index_htm_files\Media.mov">

Here is the QT generated code:

Use this code in the <head> of your web page:

Code:

<script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/scripts/ac_quicktime.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/scripts/qtp_library.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/stylesheets/qtp_library.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />

Use this code in the <body> of your web page:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
    QT_WritePoster_XHTML('Click to Play', 'VIDEO-poster.jpg',
        'VIDEO.mov',
        '640', '496', '',
        'controller', 'true',
        'autoplay', 'true',
        'bgcolor', 'black',
        'scale', 'aspect');
//-->
</script>
<noscript>
<object width="640" height="496" classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
    <param name="src" value="VIDEO-poster.jpg" />
    <param name="href" value="VIDEO.mov" />
    <param name="target" value="myself" />
    <param name="controller" value="false" />
    <param name="autoplay" value="false" />
    <param name="scale" value="aspect" />
    <embed width="640" height="496" type="video/quicktime" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"
        src="VIDEO-poster.jpg"
        href="VIDEO.mov"
        target="myself"
        controller="false"
        autoplay="false"
        scale="aspect">
    </embed>
</object>
</noscript>

Looks fine to me.
To test it locally just use relative URLs

**sadicus** · 24 May 2010, 07:58 PM

Thanks for looking over the code. I'm going to try again tomorrow.

For Local URL "/" or "\"

I get a QT broken link with both.

Code:

<param name="src" value="C:/Users/Name/Desktop/WEB TEST/VIDEO.mov">

Code:

<param name="src" value="C:\Users\Name\Desktop\WEB TEST\VIDEO.mov">

*Relative* - not absolute.

And for the slash, well - you are viewing the result in what
