The Basic EMBED Tag for QTVR

Here we have used the minimum tag for embedding a QTVR movie on a page:

<EMBED SRC="Movies/UTFtn.mov" WIDTH=320 HEIGHT=240></EMBED>

Inside the EMBED tag the SRC="Movies/UTFtn.mov" is telling the browser to find the Quicktime movie named "UTFtn.mov" inside the "Movies" folder (using relative addressing). The HEIGHT and WIDTH parameters give the dimension of the rectangle the QTVR movie will be loaded into in pixels. If the dimension of the rectangle given by the HEIGHT and WIDTH are different from the actual dimensions of your movie, then your movie will be either cropped or have extra space around it.

Apple's documentation appears to indicate that the <EMBED> tag does not require the terminating </EMBED>. While this is true for most browsers, some browsers on Windows computers will put an extraneous vertical line on the page without it.

To center the movie on this page, we put the entire EMBED tag inside CENTER tags, like this:

<CENTER><EMBED SRC="Movies/UTFtn.mov" WIDTH=320 HEIGHT=240></EMBED></CENTER>
