Media.Quicktime
Introduction
All videos uploaded to Revver are transcoded to Apple's QuickTime format for podcasts and to facillitate the viral distribution of content via P2P sharing networks or email.
Requirements
Apple QuickTime Player
Player Parameters
The QuickTime player accepts all the standard parameters a normal QuickTime embed would accept. For and up-to-date- list of all the options available to QuickTime embeds, please visit Apple's QuickTime page at: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61011
Embed
Revver.com includes two standard embed options for the flash player -- one using JavaScript and another using the deprecated HTML <embed> tag.
Simple JavaScript Embed
When a mediaId is included as a query string on the js call, a flash embed is created inline on the page -- allowing for multiple embeds on a page using the below notation.
Note: The JavaScript embed inserts the standard thumbnail / poster frame (chosen on Revver.com), as a clickable image that then loads the QuickTime file. This prevents multiple embeds from downloading the movie contents upon page load.
Advanced JavaScript Embed
If a mediaId is not included in the query string on the original JS call, a method call must be used to create the embed. Additionally, the JS includes additional parameters that can be used in complex AJAX environments.
<script src="http://media.revver.com/player/1.0/qtplayer.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
revverQVideo.embed ( {mediaId : INT, affiliateId : INT} );
/* ]]> */
</script>
Additional Parameters

Standard Embed
The standard embed is typically used in social networking sites where the proper object tag is removed for security considerations.
