  i am kicking off my new blog here at wordpress and i am trying to embed some video footage. i have found the best codec for my files is by using the quicktime export for web, which gives me a folder containing a poster frame, reference movie, and a .m4v file. i have uploaded this folder to my server and it came with instructions on how to code it into my ‘website’- this case blog entry. however it said to put this code in the head of my page:

  <script src=”http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/scripts/ac_quicktime.js” language=”JavaScript” type=”text/javascript”></script>
  <script src=”http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/scripts/qtp_library.js” language=”JavaScript” type=”text/javascript”></script>
  <link href=”http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/stylesheets/qtp_library.css” rel=”StyleSheet” type=”text/css” />

  and then this is the code for the embed video:

  <script type=”text/javascript”><!–
  QT_WritePoster_XHTML(‘Click to Play’, ‘stop_web-poster.jpg’,
  ‘stop_web.mov’,
  ‘450’, ‘269’, ”,
  ‘controller’, ‘true’,
  ‘autoplay’, ‘true’,
  ‘bgcolor’, ‘black’,
  ‘scale’, ‘aspect’);
  //–>
  </script>
  <noscript>
  <object width=”450″ height=”269″ classid=”clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B” codebase=”http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab”>
  <param name=”src” value=”stop_web-poster.jpg” />
  <param name=”href” value=”stop_web.mov” />
  <param name=”target” value=”myself” />
  <param name=”controller” value=”false” />
  <param name=”autoplay” value=”false” />
  <param name=”scale” value=”aspect” />
  <embed width=”450″ height=”269″ type=”video/quicktime” pluginspage=”http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/”
  src=”stop_web-poster.jpg”
  href=”stop_web.mov”
  target=”myself”
  controller=”false”
  autoplay=”false”
  scale=”aspect”>
  </embed>
  </object>
  </noscript>

  is this javascript and is this not cool to use at wordpress? is there a way around this, as in some other code that i don’t know? does anyone have any suggestions on how to embed my movie files?
