No, I mean the opposite here;-)
That MPEG URLs are played when some application, that can play them, is
allready installed, without the need to download and install QT.
Currently it is limited to MPEG 1, I think it once worked with IE and WMP
and the embed tag, maybe IE 5, and maybe it doesnt work anymore, havent
made tests.
Well, in theory, it could work with Real and MPEG 4, if the QT libraries
are installed, but then it wouldnt make sense.
The most easy way to do what you want is to use an rtsptext.mov, just a
line of text, the url and the magic word rtsptext. Instead of a poster
movie, which may look nicer.
