A discussion of what's necessary to embed a streaming Quicktime movie in a web page

First, the Quicktime movie you're embedding must be hinted, which means it must be prepared to be played back from the streaming server.

  1. Open the file in Quicktime Player
  2. Choose File, Export. From the Export menu
  3. Choose Movie to Hinted Movie
  4. Give the file a new name. It is best give the file a name with no spaces or capitalization. Click Save.

 

Once hinted, the file needs to be placed on the server and make a note of where the file is saved and its name. Contact SOJC technical services for assistance with this.

  1. Embedding the Quicktime movie on a page.

  2. Create a new page or edit the page in which you wish to embed to video.

  3. Click the HTML or Source button in the editor.

  4. Copy and paste the following code: <object width="640" height="480" class="plugin_video" classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"> <param name="autoplay" value="false" />   <embed width="640" height="480" src="http://jstream.uoregon.edu/sojcbug.mov" qtsrc="rtsp://jstream.uoregon.edu/PATH/TO/YOUR/VIDEO.mov"></embed> </object>

  5. Locate the "PATH/TO/YOUR/VIDEO.mov" in the text you just pasted and change it to the location of your video on the streaming server and the name of your video clip.
