Here you go. Straight from the horse’s mouth:http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/Conceptual/QTScripting_HTML/index.html
You can use HTML to communicate with the QuickTime browser plug-in or ActiveX control when displaying QuickTime-compatible content in a browser. This allows you to control many aspects of QuickTime behavior, such as image scaling, audio volume, autoplay, looping, linking a series of movies, launching QuickTime Player, and opening a specified URL when the user clicks the movie.
Before it can communicate with QuickTime, your HTML must cause a browser to load the QuickTime plug-in or ActiveX control. This typically involves using either the <EMBED> tag, the <OBJECT> tag, or both tags together. Using the <EMBED> and <OBJECT> tags also allows you to use QuickTime to display multimedia that may not be QuickTime-specific, such as MP3, MPEG-4, and SMIL.
The main method for controlling QuickTime from HTML is the use of attributes, also known as parameters, within the <EMBED> and <OBJECT> tags. More than 30 attributes are recognized specifically by QuickTime.
The HTML you’re probably after looks like this:
<OBJECTCLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"
HEIGHT=yy
WIDTH=xx>
<PARAM NAME="src" VALUE="MyMovie.mov" >
<EMBED SRC="MyMovie.mov"
HEIGHT=yy
WIDTH=xx
TYPE="video/quicktime"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" />
</OBJECT>

Ahhh - fantastic! I’m just waiting for the original source code and I’ll see what I can come up with. However, if wasson (or anyone) has any tips of that file conversion, that might be the easiest solution.

Here’s a good step-by-step for conversion on a Mac…

Not for the faint of heart, but with a little time and patience, I’m sure you can get it working. That’ll get it into FLV format to embed within a Flash movie and play with very little effort. This is what Google Video and YouTube use.
Oh you are the KING! Thank you so much!
