How to Embed QuickTime With a Customized Controller
Embedding a QuickTime video on your Web page allows Web users to view .mov files as they play directly on your page instead of on a large page where the .mov file is the only element there. One of the nice things about embedding a QuickTime video is that you also can embed customized controls with the video. These controls are located at the bottom of the window in which the video plays.

Insert the following code on the page where you desire on the page between the <body> and </body> tags:

<param name="src" value="http://www.website.com.mov">
<param name="autoplay" value="true">
<param name="target" value="myself">
<param name="controller" value="true">
<param name="href" value="http://www.website.com.mov">
<param name="type" value="video/quicktime" height="300" width="350">
<embed src="http://www.website.com.mov" height="300" width="350" autoplay="false" type="video/quicktime" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" controller="true" href="http://www.website.com.mov" target="myself"></embed>

Replace each instance of "http://www.website.com.mov" with the actual URL of the QuickTime video you want to embed. Likewise, replace each instance of "300" or "350" to change the height and width settings, if desired.
-
5
Customize the "<param name="controller" value="true">" line by changing "true" to "false" if you do not want the controls to appear under the window. When the code says "true" this means that the video will play and the controls (start, pause, fast forward, sound) will appear.
-
6
Publish the page. This means saving your customized script to the web server.
