Media in Web Pages
using Dreamweaver

QuickTime Movie made on a Mactintosh, using Final Cut Pro. Quicktime conversion was set for "web medium quality" and resulted in a file size of only 3.4 Mb.

Size the window to 260x320. The control panel for QuickTime is 20 pixels high. To include the control panel, set the width for 340 pixels.

Use Insert>Media>Plugin or use the "common" insert bar, and click on the puzzle piece icon.

To link to a folder outside of the defined website (as when you are linking multiple sites together), you must assign something from the site folder first (such as a photo) and then you can type an absolute address in the "src" field of the properties panel.

Click the button to play Sade, from the "Love Deluxe" cd. This file was brought into the computer through Music Match Jukebox and exported in an mp3 format. All files were set to open in Quicktime. Internet Explorer handles audio Quicktime files just fine, but Firefox ver. 1 did not.
Both browsers handled Quicktime video files with no difficulty.

So, the answer is to go to the file (in the folder, not Dreamweaver) and change the options so it opens with Windows Media Player. Now, music works in both of those browsers.

You should note that the song will play automatically when the page loads, unless you alter the code. Somewhere within the "embed" tag, type the following:

autostart="false"

That way, the user has to press the play button to make the song start.
Remember that you are responsible to set the width and height for the song. If you want to show the controls, this becomes an issue. This example uses 200px wide by 100px tall. This file is 6.72MB, 128kbps bit rate, and 44kHz audio sample rate. Wow, the song also plays for 7 minutes 20 seconds.
