How to Embed M4V in IE and Firefox
An M4V file is an extension of the MPEG-4 video file that plays digital video and audio streams, based on Apple's iTunes application. If you have an M4V file that you want to embed into a Web page, you can do so by adding a section of HTML code into the document. Since different Web browsers handle embedded videos in different ways, you must include both the "<object>" and "<embed>" codes to make the video viewable in all browsers.

Insert the following code into your document. This code includes both the <embed> tag and the <object> tag for cross-browser compatibility:
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"
WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="256" >
<PARAM NAME="src" VALUE="http://URL.com/video.m4v">
<PARAM NAME="autoplay" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="controller" value="true">
<EMBED SRC="QTMimeType.pntg" TYPE="image/x-macpaint"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download" QTSRC=" http://URL.com/video.m4v"
WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="256" AUTOPLAY="true" CONTROLLER="true">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT> -
4
Alter the "WIDTH" and "HEIGHT" parameters for both the <object> tag and the <embed> tag to the desired display size of the video in a visitor’s browser.

5
Replace "http://URL.com/video.m4v" in the example with the URL of the video file on your server. Be sure to make this change for both the <object> and <embed> tags.
-
6
Set the "Autoplay" and "Controller" parameters for the <object> and <embed> tags to "true" or "false." The "Autoplay" parameter automatically starts the video when a visitor lands on the page, if this value is set to "true." The "Controller" parameter governs whether the video controls display below the video, allowing the user to pause, fast-forward or rewind the video.

7
Save the changes and upload the Web page to your server.
