    Hi, on my customers website there are 360 tours of the showrooms. While they load a strange black wire effect appears. It wouldn't be a problem if it didn't take so long to go.

    Have a look:

    http://www.oxfordkitchens.co.uk/showroom-tours/kitchen5.php

    I've used this simple embedding code:

    <object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" width="400" height="315" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab#version=6,0,2,0">
                   <param name="controller" value="TRUE">
    
                   <param name="type" value="video/quicktime">
                   <param name="autoplay" value="true">
                   <param name="src" value="http://www.oxfordkitchens.co.uk/showroom-tours/videos/kitchen5.mov">
                   <param name="pluginspage" value="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/indext.html">
                   <embed width="400" height="315" controller="TRUE" src="http://www.oxfordkitchens.co.uk/showroom-tours/videos/kitchen5.mov" type="video/quicktime" bgcolor="#000000" border="0" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/indext.html"></embed>
                            </object>
    
    HTML:
    Any ideas what the reason might be?

    It's a quicktime vr movie that is 5mb, which is quite large for the resolution of the contained image and screen area. It shouldn't really be more than about 500k for that size. You need to get whoever created the quicktime mov for you to resave and use more image compression.

    I'd abandon Quicktime, there is no way to know which version your users will have and all kinds of things can go wrong. The Video Player wars are already over and flash won...just go with it. Quicktime is so 2006
