Is there any way to remove the white box and Quicktime symbol that appears while the embedded Quicktime movie begins to download? Having that on a black page is a bit much.


Thanks for the help!

Yes..I was just going to ask the exact same question:

My problem appears that on Safari browsers the box appears as white after the movie plays:

a sample from my Railroad photography site where I am putting quicktime movies with photographs:

On Internet Explorer the box remains black at all times so it matchs my web site perfectly..but on Safari the box goes WHITE..how can I make it default to BLACK after the movie has played?

kicking this back to the top one more time...

does anyone know how to make a quicktime movie go "black" instead of "white" when it is finished viewing when embedding into a webpage displayed on Safari?

Though about using Flash?

You should grab a copy of 'Quicktime for the Web' - written by Apple guys, very reasonably priced and full of VERY cool tricks for QT

See above post - the book has an excellent bit on how to make 'poster' frames (still images that stay up until you click and launch the main movie)
