Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
Walker,
this is a great plug-in – thank you so much for that!
On a side note, anyone producing QuickTime web video and interested in ensuring compatibility with older QT versions might find my QuickTime Playback Compatibility Chart helpful. It lists all availble codecs back to QT 3.
Cheers Martin

nice table, but you forgot QTVR in your supported formats :
QTVR objects and cylindrical panoramas from version 3 (extension .mov .pano .object
support for cubic QTVR panoramas as of version 5

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
Good point!
Originally the chart was compiled as a reference to the available video- and audio codecs, but never included QT-specific formats such as QTVR (cylindrical or cubic), Qt-sprites nor QT-vectors, but I intend to cover that in a future update.
In general QTVR authors have stuck with Photo-JPEG as the most commonly supported codec.

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
For some reason I cannot get the QT to display any larger than the default 320×240, I have specified the size I want and the code even seems to show my chosen size but the video does not display at that size. Check it out:
http://lastexit.thecivilpartnership.com/article/test-video-post
And the code:
<txp:wlk_qt width="480" height="270" controller="true" js="true" autoplay="false" scale="Aspect"/>
Whilst the aspect is retained it does not fill the 480×270 area.

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
I just tried it out on my demo and it appears to be working fine…I dunno what’s up with yours.
Also, make sure you add 16px to the height you specify when you’re embedding. You need to account for the height of the control bar at the bottom of the movie.

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
It appears I can alter the height but not the width. There does not seem to be any CSS applied to it that might mess it up.

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
I just added a poster to better demonstrate the poster functionality.
(it doesn’t look half bad is I do say so myself….)

Yeah, the poster looks great, I can’t seem to get that working either :)

Re: How do I embed QuickTime movies?
Oh, monkey, if you’re specifying “tofit” do it lowercase or don’t do it at all….it should default to that.
I noticed that the javascript that’s being output on your page has “toFit”

You mind if I get into your TXP install’s backend?

Okay, so, thanks to Monkeynotes, there’s a new version of wlk_qt. Read about it here.
