Using Object and Embedding Tags That All Browsers Can Use

Imbed Video Clips

You can embed video clips in your page with this code:

<embed src="/members_area/walkies.mov" height=108 width=33% controller=false autoplay=true playeveryframe=false pluginspage="redirect_for_plugins.html" loop=false href="buy_me.html">

The elements above set the movie to play once after the page loads and don't show viewer controls. The href can be linked to a page that shows the whole movie or a place to buy the video. You can also set the loop value to true to continuously run the movie, or you can set the controller value to true to let the viewer stop, restart, and replay at whim. Use QuickTime format--AVI doesn't have as good of a compression rate, a critical point to consider. You can optimize by reducing the frame rate to about 15fps and compressing the finished file using shareware.

Adding Movies to Your Web Page

simple link to file

You can provide a link to a movie file and let the user download it, such as <a href="moviename.mov">Play moviename (2 MB)</a>. When the movie downloads, it can be viewed in the browser window with the QuickTime plug-in or it can be played with another movie-playing helper application. TIP: When linking to an audio or video file, always provide the file size so users can make an informed decision about whether they want to commit to clicking the link.

Using Object and Embed

To ensure that videos will play properly on all browsers, it is recommended that you place the movie on the page using both the <object> and <embed> tags. The standard, minimum code for doing this is as follows:

<object width="240" height="196"

classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"

codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">

<param name="src" value="moviefile.mov">

<param name="controller" value="true">

<param name="autoplay" value="false">

<embed src="moviefile.mov" width="240" height="196"

autoplay="false" controller="true"

pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">

</embed>

</object>

If you look carefully, you will see that the basic directions are repeated in both the <object> tag and its parameters and the <embed> tag. Apple's tutorial for embedding Quicktime movies is at www.apple.com/quicktime/authoring/embed.html. For a complete discussion of the minimal movie settings, read the article by Jennifer Niederst at O'Reilly. There are also references to other sources of information.
