ME 295 - Final Project
Adding a Quicktime Movie

To insert a quicktime movie into your web page, you have to include <object> html code that references the movie you made using mediarecorder.

Following are the steps to perform:

  • Open a Mozilla Composer Window

Click Here for instructions on how to open a composer window and open an existing web page. The composer icon is at the bottom left of the browser window, 3rd from the left. 

  • Click on the <HTML> Source tab at the bottom of the page.  The HTML source code that defines your page will appear.
  • Inside of the <td> </td> for the table that holds your content, insert the appropriate <object> code.
Click Here to go to the page that contains the appropriate <object> code. Copy that code, and paste it into your content <td> cell.
  • Replace the URL in the src portion of the <PARAM> and <EMBED> attributes with the name of your movie.

Keep in mind that the existing src address is absolute (i.e., a specific location on the web); yours will be relative to the current page (And as a result, will not include the http:// prefix).

  • Replace the Height & Width values for the <OBJECT> and within the <EMBED> to reflect the size of your video. Make sure to add 16 pixels to the height to allow for display of the controls.
  • Save your changes!
