Re: mac and windows cross platform solution



The problem is that you likely aren't embedding the QuickTime movie object correctly in your HTML, and thus the raw "rtsp" url on your windows machines is being directed to the real player plugin.

What you need to do to achieve cross-platform compatibility so that your rtsp QuickTime urls work is by creating the appropriate QuickTime embed/object html tags, and creating a QuickTime reference movie - which in turn contains the rtsp URL.

Check around on Apple's QuickTime website and you'll find url's like this in the developer area

   http://www.info.apple.com/usen/quicktime/
   http://developer.apple.com/quicktime/compatibility.html
   http://www.apple.com/quicktime/authoring/embed.html

There's also Peter Hoddie's excellent XML to Reference movie utility.

i am creating streaming content for a windows network that is really locked down (meaning, users cannot change settings on their machines without the intervention of a network administrator).

when i create streaming .mov files the mac people get it (of course), but the windows users' machines attempt to open the rtsp file in real one.

i have tried setting qt mime settings, the real settings, etc. , but real refuses to allow qt to be the default player for rtsp formats.

any suggestions?

i would attempt to make these .mp4 files, but not sure if that would work either? any help would be appreciated.
