Myspace and Quicktime Player, How Do you Get QT to play on your page????

I don't really like the myspace movie player becauase it compresses the file that you've already compressed

and i've seen so many users have Quitime player on their page that works clean and looks less compressed

so i was wondering if anyone could gimme ideas of what to do

I got a .mac account if anything needs to be loaded there, i'm just not sure how to get the movie to play from my page

i edit and post videos on myspace all the time for work (yes, i get paid to play on myspace all day, among other things) and your probelm is one that i was having as well, esp because if you cut video in sync with audio, the myspace player (and youtube player, incidentally) gets it out of sync, plus as you said, it's recompressed and looks terrible.
the best (free) option i've found is to use google video to upload and host your videos (video.google.com) and then embed that uploaded video in your myspace page using the html that google provides. even though google changes the format of your video, the result is still far better looking than youtube or the myspace player, and the audio stays in perfect sync.
after your upload to google is complete, there will be a screen with options to email your video to friends. under that, there is a link that says "embed HTML". click on that, copy the code, then post it wherever you want on your myspace page. done and done.

also, i'm not sure if you have to be "invited" to google video like you do for gmail, but if you do, let me know what your email address is and i'll send you an invitation.

Thats sounds just about really close to what i was hoping for

except i was thinking more of what apple is doing with Quicktime and Movie Trailers

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/thesimpsonsmovie/trailer1_small.html

Cuz i wanna be able to promote myself and people i work with and myspace is just about the easiest place to be able to promote yourself quick free and to many people around the world

it works fine for me when it comes to music

but some basic movies i've loaded for testing looks horrible after myspace re-compress it

and since i got storage to load up about a Gig worth of files i thought apple quicktime player was the best thing to use to stream all my movies or jobs that i do and show people around the world

i'm familiar with myspace is just the quicktime part thats killing me

i've manage to load up a link from my .mac account to my page and the quicktime player comes up but it just doesn't stream

i'm not sure if its a format that i saved it in or apple does a special thing to theirs thats all i wanted to know
