Apple Trailers Question

[pfista]

On apple pages such as this one http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/oceans13/hd/
you can view trailers by clicking on 480p, 720p buttons and it will actually open up the quicktime program on your computer and stream from the client. Does anyone know how to do this? I was reading something about it on the apple page somewhere but I couldn't figure it out.

The image you click (the 480 one or 720 or w/e) is a .mov object (1 frame) compressed using Apple Jpeg. Use this code:

<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="24" width="60">
<param name="target" value="quicktimeplayer" />
<param name="href" value="file you want to play" />
<param name="src" value="the image .mov you made" />
<param name="autoplay" value="true" />
<param name="controller" value="false" />
<embed height="24" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" src="="the image .mov you made" type="video/quicktime" width="60" controller="false" autoplay="true" href="="file you want to play" target="quicktimeplayer"></embed>
</object>

Bingo! shazam!
