I encountered this problem last week:
After embedding a QuickTime(MOV) file into your web page, it takes an eternity to start. The
reason is because the http request will ask the server to download the whole clip onto the client's
drive, then start the playback.
The solution is simple, and is called FAST START. Fast Start is a QuickTimefeature that enables
users to watch the movie as it's being downloaded (long before the whole movie has been downloaded)
from a standard web server. Fast Start works well for short-form movies where file size is limited.
It ensures high-quality playback regardless of the users' Internet connection speeds, though those
with slower connections will wait longer before media starts to play (

Check the instructions on the QuickTime website here. It also explains how to optimize your video for online streaming.

Enabling audio on your webpage on page load
Hi Sara
There are many ways to play music on page load, including flash (easiest) or playlists.
You can load a m3u playlist to play your songs in order.
However, what you want to achieve (play one clip only once, and sequentially play another one, within a loop) is very complex, but not impossible.
First of all, playing mp3 files are not advised, given the huge size (~3mb or more).
My first guess to solve your problem is as follows:
Initiate both clips at the same time on page load (e.g. t=0).
Liberi Fatali should have a 3-5 seconds initial blank so that your first clip can be heard without interference.
To do this, place the following in the HEAD section of your page:
Remember to add 3-5 seconds blank in your Liberi Fatali clip and that should do the trick!
