Linking to Quicktime Videos

[kuhlkmk]

Hello - I want to post quicktime movies on my site that I save to my pc from my digital camera. I have researched how to embed the quicktime player on the page & how to put just a link on the page that launches quicktime and I am never successful. I can view quicktime movies on my laptop so I know I have the program installed. Help me please!

Here are my attempts:
<a href="MerryGoRound.MOV" target="quicktimeplayer" click here to view movie</a>
RESULT: The letter Q icon for quicktime shows up, but nothing happens.

Attempt 2: <embed src="MerryGoRound.MOV"
AUTOPLAY=true CONTROLLER=true LOOP=false
PLUGINSPAGE="

http://www.apple.com/quicktime"

<noembed>Get QuickTime</noembed>
RESULT: Icon like a movie clip shows up. But nothing happens.

THANK YOU!

Is the movie in the same folder as the page on your web server? Also, is the case of the filename correct (so it has an all uppercase extension, for example).

Hope this helps,
Dan

Hello Dan - thank you for the suggestions. I checked them and the casing is correct & the movie is in the same folder as my page. I am wondering - I read so much about compressing the file and 'getting it ready for the web page', if that is actually somewhat of a requirement? I was considering purchasing something like quicktime pro....
