advice for showing a .mov

[lil9]

hi

im trying to display some .mov files straight onto my website (http://www.lil9.com/), im using this code:

<object DATA="videos/zerohourpromo.mov" width="400" height="315">
</object>

i normaly use Firefox and in firefox the video shows up fine, it downloads the video but starts playing when still downloading. but in internet explorer it doesnt work the same, it wait till the video has fully downloaded.

so, is there any way i can make the video play the same way as it does in firefox?

heres the page (http://www.lil9.com/zerohour/zerohourpromovideo.php)

thanks

Try this:

<!-- START QUICKTIME CONTENT -->
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" width="400" height="315" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<param name="autoplay" value="true">
<param name="controller" value="true">
<param name="pluginspage" value="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/indext.html">
<param name="target" value="myself">
<param name="type" value="video/quicktime">
<param name="src" value="videos/zerohourpromo.mov">
<embed src="videos/zerohourpromo.mov" width="400" height="315" autoplay="true" controller="true" border="0" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/indext.html" target="myself"></embed>
</object>
<!-- END QUICKTIME CONTENT -->

You keep asking that and yes you are right but some browsers still need it to show the movie, or it will break.
