Activating a .MOV file in a webpage

I have a link to a movie that has been uploaded to the company website.  The movie is in .MOV format.  I can get it to play using my QuickTime viewer; however, it doesn't play when I link it to the website.  Is there a trick I need to know to get QuickTime to open in a web browser automatically with the link is accessed from the Internet?  I am using Dreamweaver to create the page.  It is currently a simple HTML file with links for some engineers to look at.  They need to view the images and the movies.

I got it to work with no problem and it is even more impressive than I had intended.  Thanks for the tip.  I obviously hadn't tried that one.

You're welcome.  If you just do a simple then you are at the mercy of the user's configuration.  Embedding the movie gives you a bit more control over things.

Once I played with it for awhile I was able to get both videos playing at the same time and it is very impressive.  I will definately use that one again.
