I have a couple qustions about quicktime for the web. I need to get a ten minuet QT movie posted. The file size should be reasonable so any one can view it.

1. How do I make a QT movie play in a browser like the movie trailers at [quicktime.com](http://quicktime.com). I want a background image for the web page plus a progress time line, play controls, play as it is loading, ect.

OR

1. Is there a tutorial or can someone tell me how to load an external QT movie into a flash movie. I want it to play as it is loading, show a progress time line, and have play controls. (More importantly I would rather do number 1, because it seems more unversal/easy)

AND

1. What is a codec/compression to use for QT. I need it be universal, good quality, and a reasonable file size. Right now I am already familar with Sorensen and a couple a audio options, but the file size seems bigger then other movies I have seen on the web and quality is low.

Thank you very much for any help.
