Embedding Quicktime movie correctly?

(Nic Hubbard) #1

I was messing around with embedding a Quicktime movie with the WYSIWYG and it seems to be only using the following for the embed code.


Here is another more correct way to embed the video.
    

<param name="src" value="http://www.yourdomain/your.mov">
<param name="autoplay" value="true">
<param name="type" value="video/quicktime" height="256" width="320">

<embed src="http://www.yourdomain/your.mov" height="256" width="320" autoplay="true" type="video/quicktime" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">

</object></pre><br />




This seems to my to be the incorrect way of embedding a Quicktime video file, Apple gives an example of how to correctly embed a Quicktime file with java.  I just do not want to have my users embed videos in an incorrect way.  Also, even with Tidy, the way that video video is embedded makes the page not valid code, which is a problem for us.  Is there any way around this, outside of a feature request?

I think the request is what you'll need. We have to rewrite that plugin's embed code for Quicktime movies. There is no other way to ensure it is always the same code used, besides copy/paste.
