Hello,

I've recently placed a 3-minute video clip on a client's home page and
we launched the site last week. I got a desperate e-mail from her last
night that she heard back from several friends who said the page
crashed their computers. On all the browsers/computers I checked, it
downloaded fine. I'm assuming that the people who are experiencing
products have older computers and browsers.

Since the site is to sell a DVD, the video clip is important, but that
it loads is important as well!

I've deactivated the video for now so it's not visible, but here is
the code I'm using:

<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="304"
width="352">
<param name="src" value="movies/MB_WebsiteClip_3m38s.mov" />
<param name="autoplay" value="false" />
<param name="controller" value="true" />
<embed height="304"
pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"
src="movies/MB_WebsiteClip_3m38s.mov" type="video/quicktime"
width="352" controller="true" autoplay="false"></embed>
</object>

Is there another way I should be doing this? Should I be looking into
external streaming programs? We are going to look at cutting down the
clip, but I'm not sure that would solve the problem.

Thanks,
Antonella
