To Insert a Video on a Web Page with Netscape Composer PT3 Team

 

You can insert a Quicktime Movie into your web page in Netscape Composer but you must write some simple code to do this: Go to the page you wish to insert the video into or create a new page, just for the video. Go to the Insert Menu on the top of your screen and select HTML TAG from the menu In the dialog box that appears, type in your code: Mac Link: <embed src="jacksonp.mov" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/products/qt/" width="280" height="220" controller="true" loop="false" autoplay="no"> Windows Link for MPEG 1 files: <embed src="jacksonp.mpg" width="280" height="220" controller="true" loop="false" autoplay="no"> (Quicktime will read MPEG 1 files.  It is possible to purchase a plugin that will enable your web browser to read MPEG 2 files.)     The examples above demonstrates the code for a Quicktime Movie entitled "jacksonp.mov" or "jacksonp.mpg" that is 280 by 220 pixels in size. It includes a link to download a free Quicktime Plugin for their Browser for people that may not already have it installed on their computer.  Other settings that can be manipulated include: CONTROLLER=true  (this includes a  bar on the bottom of the video). You can change this to CONTROLLER=false to remove this bar LOOP=true (it will play over and over), LOOP=no, it will only play once. AUTOPLAY=no (it will not play automatically.)  You need to click on it. AUTOPLAY=yes means when you come to that page, the movie will automatically play. To see your movie play, save your page and look at it in Netscape NAVIGATOR. You must have the actual movie in the same folder as the html page and upload it to your public_html folder.  Once this is completed, the movie will play on the web. Make sure you write the code exactly in this format except to substitute your movie's name for the one listed in the example.
