Plugin to stream .mov file in WP site that works???

    After in depth experimentation, I can’t find a way in which a .mov file that is set to progressively download will successfully do so within an IE browser (though it works just fine in Firefox and Netscape).

    I have tried VideoPop and others, and cannot come up with a cure! I have also tried .mov “posters” with coding to link to apple quicktime plug-ins, etc to stream within the post (I belive this works on typepad) but was unsuccessful.

    the file in question is at:

    I need to solve this ASAP!

    thanks in advance for any tips

  • Try writing an html page that has the .mov embedded.
    That’ll play better in IE. Won’t wait to download whole file till it plays that way.
    Also think about making a pop up window that has the html with embedded .mov
    in it.

    when i insert the .html code into a WP page, though — WP mangles it and the embed seems to dissappear!

    Embed the mov in an html page called for in a pop up window.

    *sigh* this is a problem with WP 2.0.

    You have to turn off the richtext editor then work in the simpler editor in html mode and it might still strip out a tag or two (like the <br class="clearA" /> tag I absolutely HAD TO HAVE to make a linked image “work” in a neg margin source ordered layout . . . )

    oh, I have a couple POSSIBLE suggestions. I know some folks got audioblog working as a third party posting thing. Maybe you can just use that. They store files for you also, which saves bandwidth on your host.

    The other option is to try the Flash Satay plugin. There might also be a couple other media plugins available, you should poke around.
