I have two quicktime movies on my site. One loads correctly (very visibly) and the other loads incorrectly (behind a blank QT emblem, with no progress indicator).

The first: http://www.herzliyafilms.com/delhimedia.html

The second: http://www.herzliyafilms.com/truth.html

What am I doing wrong with the second that I'm doing right with the first?

delhimedia.html seems to be missing [/embed]..?

I took away the /embed from truth.html and it still doesn't work.

Anybody else have an idea? This is very frustrating.

that's supposed to be there! you were supposed to add it to the page that was missing it

Fine, I'll add the /embed, but that doesn't address my problem. delhimedia.html is the one that works correctly.

I've read my code. That is why I came here. There is obviously something missing that I can't figure out... I think it is clear that I don't know much about html.

Anyway, my problem still exists. If anybody could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

One is an .mpg and one is a .mov. The .mov suffix means that the movie is a "fast start" movie file. So, if you want the Truth preview to show a status bar, change the file type to .mov. For more info, check out this page: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tools...faststart.html
