Quicktime Media How To Stream Your QuickTime Media clip QuickTime doesn't require a redirector file instead all the information is included in the <EMBED> tag. (The <EMBED> tag is supported by IE 4.x and later and Netscape version 2.x and later.) To view streaming QuickTime files, we use a 2 stage process within the <EMBED > tag. Stage 1 is to give the <EMBED> tag a source to call up the QuickTime player to play the required clip. In this line of code we also insert the dimensions of the clip. NB add 16 pixels to the height of the movie to make room for the movie controller. (eg. set HEIGHT="256" for a movie 240 pixels high) <EMBED SRC="UNeedQ4.qti" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="256"> When the browser encounters this file type will cause the browser to open the QuickTime plugin. Stage 2 is to direct the plugin to the correct media file. This is possible by adding the QuickTime Source parameter (QTSRC). This parameter points to the media file on the streaming media server. The address you need to type here is: rtsp://quick.webstreaminghost.com/username/filename.mov So the final code looks something like this: <EMBED SRC="UNeedQ4.qti" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="256" QTSRC="rtsp://quick.webstreaminghost.com/username/filename.mov"> For more information about the <EMBED> tag and other methods refer to the Apple/QuickTime website
