Does anyone know how can I make one of those movies like the ones at apple.com which have a "Click to Play" screen before actually playing the movie, it also uses a designated size/quality depending on what connection speed you have, with descreet cleaner 5 I can make the movies play on a designated size/quality, but I couldn't add a "Click to Play" screen

Thx in Advance

with Livestage Pro or Adobe GoLive, you can add a Sprite track to the beginning of your movie. Sprite tracks can do almost anything you can think of with this scripting language they have called Qscript (I think), including things like PlayMovie EnterFullScreen, and they can reference other movies, which is my guess as to how it can choose which size to play

Check out Apple's QuickTime Tutorials.

The 'Click-to-play' movie is known as a Poster Movie.

Reference Movies are used to select different quality movies for different bandwidth, CPU speeds, etc.
