4. Now if I try to display a .mp4 file that is on our local QT server
I get
an information page that says "The page cannot be displayed"
The following html code is on my local web page and I would think
should
point to our rtsp server and start up the QT video.

MY QUESTION: What would cause the html code above not to start the QT
client?
The problem is that you can't use a simple 'href=' to access RTSP.
Read the Streaming Server documentation (access QTSS Help by clicking
on
the (?) question mark in the Streaming Web Admin).
If you want to go directly, use this URL:
http://helpqt.apple.com/qtssWebAdminHelpR4/qtssWebAdmin.help/
English.lproj/
(and then click on "Procedures" and then "Setting up a Web page with
streamed media")
Additionally, on Apple's website there are more QuickTime tutorials
and lots of great
documentation how to create reference movies, and then to create the
correct HTML
embed/object tags to reference the RTSP stream. Let me refer to to
Apple's QuickTime
documentation pages regarding this:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/authoring/embed.html
See also this page regarding Mac and Windows browsers re: Active X
compatibility:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tools_tips/tutorials/activex.html
Lastly, there's also an excellent book about all things QuickTime that
covers this too:
