I am trying to work out the best of having video play  when QT is not
installed.

I need an if .. else scenario, so that if the browser can play QT,
the video stream is played in my movies skin.(this is fine can do in
LIveStage Pro)
It is when it isn't QT ready, then I need the video to play in any
way it can, ie a simple video player.

Hi Andrew - in general I'd approach this using an embedding method in the web browser. You can add the QT <object /> HTML in the web page, and *inside* this add a link <a href="bla" /> to your content. If the user hasn't got QT installed, the inside content is displayed instead.

Clicking the anchor will launch any other player the user has configured to play the content.

HTH
Cheers - Neil
