I'm creating a video tutorial site and need to play a common videos at the beginning and end of each video tutorial. The start and end videos will always have the same name so I can just change these two videos at will and not have to change every tutorial I've created. I can't figure out how to do this with drupal - I've tried a few modules and the one that comes the closest to what I want is the CoolFilter module but the videos only play by users clicking on a link. I know what I'm looking for is pretty easy to implement using the embed tag with QTNEXT in quicktime. I've used the CCK so I can get the URL's of the videos in fields, I just can't figure out how to grab them and throw some embed tags around them using php.
Any suggestions?

Put QTNEXT in the embed tag?
Looking at: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/embed2.html
It seems you can just add the QTNEXT file to your original embed:
<EMBED SRC="nameof.mov" WIDTH="200" HEIGHT="240"
QTNEXT1="<rtsp://www.apple.com/quicktime/movies/sample.mov> T<myself>"
So your code might be:
<EMBED SRC="<?php print $node->field_video_url[0]['value']; ?>" WIDTH="200" HEIGHT="240"
QTNEXT1="<<?php print $node->field_end_url[0]['value']; ?>> T<myself>"
Not sure if this is what your want. The http://drupal.org/project/xspf_playlist module is designed to do exactly this kind of stuff, though it requires a flash player like http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_Media_Player I use it to serve bumper content.

Excellent!
Thanks, I've seen this before, just wasn't sure how to get it to work with Drupal but now I know! I'm going to be serving the primary video in flash care of blip.tv but for screen casts it's nice to have a crystal clear H.264 version of the file hence the need to use quicktime. I could paste this code onto the page each time but I think it needs to be a module so can you point me to some documentation that'll show me how to do this or where to paste the code above.
Thanks again
