I am working on a site with embedded h.264 .mp4 video using the quicktime plugin. The attributes are set to 'controls','true', 'autoplay','false'. this works fine in most browsers (including Firefox 3.6) on mac and PC. However in firefox 4, nothing is visible until the final frame of the video loads. This is only an issue on mac OS X.

I got around this problem by using Quicktime to export the .MP4 files as .MOV files with the fast start option selected. Still have alot of .mp4 files that I would prefer not to convert to .mov if anyone knows how to get the same 'fast start' result for .mp4 in firefox 4 on a mac. thanks

I tried just changing the extension of my .mp4 files on my server to .mov (without re-encoding) and in my HTML and it seemed to load ok but I tested it a few times and I was wrong...I then added the Active X codebase code (I know this is really for PCs) and my (MP4) movies now work fine in FireFox 4.0 (on a Mac and PC)...

so...
1 - change your movie extensions from .mp4 to .mov
2 - don't forget to change the extensions in your HTML as well
3 - include the ActiveX 'codebase' element within your 'Object' tag in your QuickTime embedding HTML (and keep the 'classid' element as is): codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"

thanks for the reply mate, will try this for the files I can change. A few people link directly to my .mp4 files so I would prefer not to change the extension on some of the files. I am still on the look out for the same 'fast start' effect with .mp4
