how do I get that nice "loading" effect from the Quicktime Movie Trailers site?

When I embed a .mov file It stays blank until the whole movie is loaded...



Help please!

    When you create the movie in QuickTime be sure to check the "Fast Start" (IIRC) option. This allows the movie to begin playing after it determines enough of it has been downloaded and the current download rate continues.

    Thanks. Oddly enough, all that is required is to resave the file under a new name with quicktime, and "fast start" is enabled.
