I have some QT movies on my site I want to show. I use a jpeg picture on my site that I want to use as the link people can click. However, instead of opening another html page with a QT file embedded, I want the link to automaticly open the QT player, progressive download and play (non-streaming) a QT file in the player. I would also love to have have the QT player automaticly scale to fill the screen, but if it just opened the QT player and played the file, that would be good enough for now.

I know full screen would requite a lot of bandwidth and large files, however my QT files are in jpeg photo codec and are slideshows, so that are not that large even when they are full screen size and quality.

I know I can make a small QT file embeded in a html page that is a referance movie that can somehow launch the QT player and do what I want to do, but to be honest, I have tried and it is too confusing for me.

Anybody out there that can help me.

This is what you want.

I must be missing something or doing it wrong.

I tried your linked advice several times before; I will try it again.

This should not be this hard.

I use GoLive and they even have an option for target=player.

This no luck.

I will keep trying, but if anybody can help out, that would be great.

The correct syntax is: target="quicktimeplayer"

Have a look at this link for an example.

jcarr, thank you for the link.

I was trying to avoid using little quicktime movies as the link on in the html code, but rather just a jpeg image which is the link that opens the QT player.

Looks like I am going to have to do it your way, put little QT movies that have links that open the player.

Nice site, I will use it for tutorial purposes.

You were right about golive, I misquoted off the top of my head.

Thanks guys,

You can import JPEG files into the QuickTime player and make poster movies out of those. You don't necessarily need to use the 'Watch now' movies that I used.
