Saving Movies
So far, you've been given recipes that tell you to use QuickTime Player to work with a movie in some way, and then to Save, or Save As (self-contained), without an explanation of why one method of saving is appropriate instead of another. We'll rectify that now. This section covers the different ways to save a QuickTime movie. You'll also find some tips for naming movies that can save you a bit of grief. And we'll give you a proper list of behaviors--such as looping or autoplay--you can save as part of a movie.
When you first save a QuickTime movie, you have to give it a name and choose whether to make it self-contained. On your own computer, the movie probably plays equally well whether it's self-contained or not, and no matter what you name it. But these decisions have important consequences for the Web.
