Okay.....where do I begin. I thought this would be simple. I am doing a website for a Hotel. They have a video that they would like added to their site. He wanted it to show up in a pop-up box with 3 different options - Quicktime, RealPlayer and Windows Player. It seemed pretty simple...the problem is...I can't seem to find something to convert the MPEG file I have to .rm and/or .mov. I have a few converters...but they take files and convert them to mpeg, avi or wmv. I purchased QuickTime Pro thinking that would do it...but no.

Any help out there? Or is there an easier way than doing it this way. It's a large file and I want to add high, med and low res optins, as well.

Thanks in advance!
 
This has nothing to do with html, it is purely a video editing/saving thing. Like you properly assume, QT will play .mov, RP will play .rm and Windows Player will play .wmv. However, there is no html technique that would force one of the players for the same movie. This is done externally using the client's installed software.
 
Uggggggggggggghhhh! That's what I thought. Well, at least I know it's not my coding.

Thanks!
