Mark, not sure if anyone has gotten back to you, I'm sifting through
a few day's worth of email.
We keep things simple here.
Instead of reference movies, we just put up separately the two or
three versions, for users to click on. We choose from 200-300,
400-500, and 900-1000 kbps.
Not as elegant, but it works. You can make your own data rate choices.
Regarding code, if you are having problems test it with the object/
embed tags first, then go on to the javascript. http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html
Maybe someone else already gave you a good answer...

Here are the problems:
1) The QT Ref movie opens up beautifully in a separate browser
window (a
setting that was manually done in creating the Blackboard link).
However, clicking on the pull down menu at the bottom right hand
corner
of the QT window, then selecting "Save as a QuickTime movie" allows
the
user to save the entire video on the hard drive.
2) In attempting to access the video through the link using a PC,
the QT
logo appears and suddenly a large question mark place itself over the
logo. ("O, merciful Creator, how have I offended Thee???")
