How do I go about hosting Quicktime movie files?

[MisterPresident]

As the title states, what would hosting pre-recorded, pre-compressed Quicktime video files entail?

Can I just throw them into a directory on my webserver (assuming bandwidth is not a concern), and use embed tags as described here, and/or direct links to the video file?

Or do I need to use Quicktime or Darwin streaming server to host the files?

Thanks in advance!

I think you can just FTP them into a directory and host them directly.

Why not give it a try with a small Quicktime file to test it out?

I think it might be as simple as that, as most Quicktime video I've seen online just uses a link to the .mov file.

I'm getting the impression that the Streaming Server might be intended for live broadcast.

Either embed them or href them.
