ARCHIVED: At IU, how do I create links to my streaming QuickTime movies?

At Indiana University, for QuickTime movies that are served on a web server, use standard HTML links, for example:

A link designed to launch QuickTime would look like one of the following examples:

• For streaming QuickTime movies that are embedded in a web page, use the QuickTime browser plug-in, for example, <EMBED SRC="iuposter.mov" TYPE="image/x-quicktime" HEIGHT=159 WIDTH=192 BGCOLOR="#000000" QTSRC="rtsp://video.indiana.edu/ip/username/yourmovie.mov">  .
  
  
• For streaming QuickTime movies that are in a stand-alone QuickTime player, use a poster movie, for example, <EMBED SRC="blockius.mov" TYPE="image/x-quicktime" WIDTH=160 HEIGHT=120 CONTROLLER="False" HREF="rtsp://video.indiana.edu/ip/username/yourmovie.mov" TARGET="quicktimeplayer"> .

QuickTime movies can also be launched by QTL metafiles (.qtl extension), which are text files served from a Web server. The MIME type for QTL files is configured on IU's central web servers. Use a variation of the following metafile text when streaming files from IU's institutional server:

Replace accountname with your username, and filename with the name of your movie file.
