   I have used my ftp client to upload a .mov file and have put the file in the media library. Yet when I got to embed it on a page, it's not showing in the media library. What am I doing wrong?

   Instead of the ftp upload, try uploading the .mov file through Media - Add New.

   I wish I could, but it's too large.

   You may need to embed it with HTML then, take a look at this -
   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/embedded-quicktime-movie?replies=5

   includes this info -
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------

   Have you tried turning off the wysiwyg editor?
   admin -> users -> scroll to bottom left.
   Also uncheck the box for :
   "WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically"
   admin -> options ->writing

   Code:
   `<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="256" width="320">

   <param name="src" value="http://www.yourdomain/your.mov">
   <param name="autoplay" value="true">
   <param name="type" value="video/quicktime" height="256" width="320">

   <embed src="http://www.yourdomain/your.mov" height="256" width="320" autoplay="true" type="video/quicktime" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">

   </object>

   Just change width, heights to what you need and autoplay to false if need be.

   Try it out!
