I requested help to open a QT movie in QuickTime by linking to its file in a different post http://ragesw.net/easyweb-beta/viewtopic.php?f=6...t=286...start=20. I'm starting a new one here because I can imagine the same question coming up with PDF's for example. The code provided by Paul and Roddy below opens my .mov file in a browser window. Same goes when I link to file in EW and upload the .mov to the EW external files section. What I'd like to accomplish however is a way for the end-user to click on "1080p QuickTime Progressive Download" text and have that movie download from a third-party server and open in QuickTime - just like it used to on the Apple Movie Trailers page. I'm offering .mp4 in browser and I'd like this to be a higher-quality alternative. In my case, I'm also offering a link to QT for Windows in case it's needed. I'll start googling, but if anyone has any answers, I'd love to hear them! Thanks, Chris from Paul: If you want to just put a quicktime move up, export as a .mov and; 1) Drag the movie file to the assets list 2) Put an HTML Snippet on your page and put this code in it; ------------------------------- rMBP 15", 2.6 Ghz, 16 GB RAM, OS X 10.11.6, with 27" Thunderbolt Cinema Display www.cleetche.com |

If you want the file to download, create a zip of it, add it to Assets and then create a hyperlink to it. You can select the file and use the Finder File menu to create this by selecting "Compress". The above creates a rather funky file for Windows users so I always use the application YemuZip to make a PC compatible zip.

This will still open the .mov file in an internet browser though. Cause it's basically what I've already done, except without zipping. And doing so requires the user to drag out the browser to 1080 wide, and then hit full screen on the movie which by now has already started playing. It's a bit of a mess. Would be much better if it would just open in QT itself like Apple does it with their trailers.

It downloads the file to the visitor's desktop.
