Possible htaccess QT/IE Question

Postby Konakid » 02 Sep 2008 03:02

Sorry if I'm way off base here, but I'm trying anything at this point.

On an older post a reference was made to my question concerning QuickTime's Fast Start feature and Internet Explorer.
I'll quote:

"My videos are encoded with fast-start (quicktime), and fast start works great on MAC (Safari, firefox), and on PC (Firefox), however, fast start won't work in an Internet Explorer browser on the PC (the most widely used browser and software).....

So, users of Internet Explorer have to wait till the whole video downloads, rather than fast start."

It's true. Fast Start works on everything but IE. Among a bunch of code mentioned in the discussion was this line in htaccess.

AddType video/quicktime .mov .qt

I had no idea there may be an answer in modifying htaccess. So --- Is it possible? Or does anyone know a way to get IE to play QT's progressive download. All other browsers do it by default.

Thanks
Konakid
