What's state of the art with <embed> this week ?

I have code like this:
<embed src="ftp://ftp.example.com/movies/clip1234.mov" >

They're 10-20MB quicktime, held on an ftp server, no streaming. I don't
know exactly what screen size they are. If the users have got to this
point, they can be assumed to want an embedded view rather than the
many other download links we've already offered them.

So what do I do next ? I'm strongly inclined to leave <embed> well
alone, on the grounds that it's working quite happily as it is. Is
there a convincing argument in favour of moving to <object> and if so,
what should the resultant HTML look like (as best current practice for
such things) ?

Thanks for any advice from those more au fait with video.

Dear usenet, I'm having the following small problem. I've been ask to add some Quicktime panoramas to a website. The author of the panoramas has made two versions of each: One in MOV format, which needs a Quicktime plugin, and one Java applet. He's also kindly supplied me with sample HTML code for each. The code looks like this (simplified):

Can anyone provide a quick tip on the html structure to link from a thumb to a movie poster and from there on to a QuickTime movie, all in one go, using EMBED?

When I use an embed tag that uses a dynamic aspx page, the dynamic aspx page appears to get called 2 times instead. Below is code that adds an embed tag to a placeholder control that will use a second aspx page to generate the svg for the embed. svgchart.Controls.Clear(); string strSRC = "./DesktopModules/Enterprise/BusinessRuleSVG.aspx";

Hi. I have a page that dynamically creates an <embed> tag. Several users are running the site using IE 6.0 without problems, but on just one user the sound won't play. That's the code that creates the tag: Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim embAlert As New HtmlGenericControl("embed")

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
