I am trying to circumvent the browser as much as possible for a project that uses a poster movie in one location to launch the QuickTime Player to play video off a podCasting server in another location from a web page that is in a third location (hence, the absolute URLs). I used the very excellent Pageot 1.9.4 to generate the code below and it works, see:

... but wonder if it is overly elaborate (a Rube Goldberg machine). Comments welcomed.
