I exported from Quicktime Player 7 via the File ➙ Export for Web... menu option with just the Desktop version selected.



The folder and its contents:




were uploaded to my iDisk/Web/Site/Movies folder.  The following was added to an HTML snippet with the appropriate URL links to the poster frame image file and the reference move file (.mov).


<script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/scripts/prototype.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/scripts/qtp_poster.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script><link href="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/stylesheets/qtp_poster.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />

<a href="http://web.me.com/MMe_Account_Name/Movies/PPTest/PPTest.mov" rel="qtposter">

<img src="http://web.me.com/MMe_Account_Name/Movies/PPTest/PPTest-poster.jpg" width=720 height=480 /></a>


The QT movie file and associated files only have to be uploaded one time to the iDisk and not each time the site/page is edited and re-published. 


Thanks to Roddy for this method using Export for Web as demostrated on his site: Using QuickTime Pro
