Responsive Quicktime player

Question

Hi I'm trying to make a Quicktime player responsive but I fail on each attempt, don't know if this is possible. Is there any way to do it with css, or I need any javascript to properly do it? The container of the player response when I resize the browser but when doing this I only see a part of the video. The video format is in .mov

I found the solution, it's quite simple. In this link you have all the documentation of the Quicktime player. You can use javascript with ac_quicktime.js or use a simple embed/object, the embed/object uses a lot ot attributes that you can find on the link that i put previously. Here's an example to embed a video that fits to the 100% height and width o the container.

<embed src="#urlOfTheVideo" HEIGHT="100%" WIDTH="100%" TYPE="video/quicktime" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" AUTOPLAY="true" CONTROLLER="true" SCALE = "Aspect" />

The most important attribute here are the width and height, but to maintain the aspect of the video it's very important to add the attribute SCALE="Aspect" you can also use ToFit as value which will fit the parent container.

Hope to someone find this usefull
