Embedding QuickTime Movies for Downloadable Streaming is something that many aren’t trying to do these days. However, today I had a chance to provide some consulting for a client that was having problems embedding QuickTime Movies in a Web Page. Over the years I’ve always enjoyed creating interesting experiences with QuickTime as well as teaching about QuickTime Streaming in our Video Streaming and Compression Training classes. Now that Flash is on the scene things are different. So I thought it would be helpful for some if I posted some html code for embedding a QuickTime Movie for Downloadable Streaming.
Below is the Embed Code that was used to Embed this video. It uses Embed and Object Tags:
<object classid=”clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B” width=”320″ height=”256″ codebase=”http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab”>
<param name=”src” value=”Videos/Car02_300kDL.mov”>
<param name=”target” value=”myself”>
<param name=”controller” value=”true”>
<param name=”autostart” value=”false”>
<param name=”type” value=”video/quicktime”>
<embed src=”Videos/Car02_300kDL.mov” width=”320″ height=”256″ type=”video/quicktime” autostart=”false” controller=”true” target=”myself” pluginspage=”http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/”></embed>
</object>
Let me talk about this a little bit. Since this code uses Embed and Objects Tags it’ll make the viewing experience great for both Mac and PC users that have QuickTime installed. The video codec used in this QuickTime Movie is H.264. The audio codec is AAC. The frame size of the video is 320 x 240.
Notice that the various parameters within this code are duplicated in both the Embed and Object Tags. The code that will be used is based on the platform. where the video will be viewed. Also you’ll notice that the height value is 16 pixels higher than the actual frame size of the video. This is because the player controls are being used. You can see that you can turn off autostart or the player controls. Notice that the target value is set to myself. This is because the code above is for Embedding. If you trying to have videos player in the QuickTime Player then you can make quicktimeplayer the target. Keep in mind that if you using that approach you’ll need to use a QuickTime Poster movie. The src value is straightforward. It’s just referencing the location of the video on the web server. It’s always good to make your URL paths are relative so no one knows where your videos are located. I hope this quick overview of Embedding QuickTime Movies for Downloadable Streaming was helpful.
