I know how to (using dreamweaver) imbed a quicktime image in a webpage. However, how do I make it like apple's quicktime trailers page so they have to click the video to have it start loading?

It's "embed". If you were using Freeway, I'd be able to tell you ;-) </shameless_plug>

Angus-
Whoops. Thanks for the correction. How does freeway do it?

Well, you'd need to use my modified QuickTime Extras action. That reminds me, I should put up a tutorial for it on the knowledgebase.

Basically, you need to create a poster movie with a single frame by dragging a JPG to QuickTime player and saving out as a self-contained movie, then import this into Freeway. Apply QuickTime Extras, then expand the Link disclosure and enter the URL to your final movie.
