Well, another approach to this might be via Javascript (see below for
a simple example). This way you could use a standard <a href> tag to
link to and dynamically load your movie.
Note that the example below needs to have an image named
"watchnow.png" and a file named "watchnow.mov"
-George
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>AutoPlay Test</title>
<script language="javascript">
function makemovie(divName,url) {
// embed the movie in the movie div
document.getElementById(divName).innerHTML="<embed
src='watchnow.mov' width='480' height='396' qtsrc='" + url + "'>";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script src="./AC_QuickTime.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/
javascript"></script>
<div id="movie1">
<a href="#" onclick="makemovie('movie1','rtsp://82.198.227.205:80/BBC/BBCNewsSchoolReport.mp4')
;"><img src="watchnow.png"></a>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Great!
That was going to be my next area of research - how to remove teh
controller from the poster mov, but include it in the actual movie.
This example removed the controller from the poster movie, but adds
it to the movie when it is clicked. It also autoplays the movie
(including in Safari).
