okay, so i got quicktime to open the movie perfectly (in quicktime player) on my mac using the following string:
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" width="50" height="52">
<param name="src" value="../web/images/quicktime.gif">
<param name="autoplay" value="true">
<param name="controller" value="false">
<param name="href" value="http://10.201.30.180/board/091603/091603_facilities.mov">
<param name="target" value="QuickTimePlayer">
<embed src="../web/images/quicktime.gif" width="50" height="52" type="video/quicktime" controller="false" autoplay="true" href="http://10.201.30.180/board/091603/091603_facilities.mov" target="QuickTimePlayer"
pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"></embed>
</object>
however, when i use a windows box, and goto the webpage containing this link (icon) it does not do the same thing. it opens quicktime, but the movie never streams (it does so almost instantaneously on my mac).
ideas? comments? solutions? suggestions?
