David, given that the video itself is in H.264 format, is it possible
that it can be displayed in a web browser without the QT plug-in? Is
there some other way I can serve the video on my web page so that my
friends can view it with today's web browsers?

I just looked at the code for that page, and it's apparently something
that was generated by iMovie or some other application. My website is
very old and I rarely update it, so it's all hand coded and I don't
put in stuff like "codebase" and JavaScript scripts. The page is short,
so I'm attaching the HTML below. Is the problem I'm seeing perhaps not
with the video itself, but with the way it's handled by this code?

View the movie below to see why it takes me so long to change the sheets on my bed. But I definitely have more fun with this boring household chore than if I didn't have this "assistance"!
