Plug-In Helper is an application which allows you to do the following:
• Associate URLs with QuickTime movies and video tracks.
• Store QuickTime Plugin settings inside a QuickTime movie.
Using Plug-In Helper is easy -- just follow these steps:
Step 1) Open a movie. This can be done by dropping a movie on the application icon; using the Open menu item in the file menu; or by dragging a movie into the already open Plug-In Helper window.
Step 2) Specify Plug-in settings, if desired.
Step 3) Specify a URL for the movie, if desired. This can be done by typing the URL directly into the movie URL text box, or by dragging text from another application. The best way to specify a URL is to drag a 'live' one from a web browser. This ensures that the URL is properly formed and will work in the QuickTime Plugin.
Step 4) Specify a URL for each track in the movie, if desired, using the same techniques listed in step 3, above.
NOTE: If a URL is associated with the movie, it will override any URLs associated with video tracks.

Q: I only see video tracks in the track list, I'm not going to lose anything when I export, am I?
A: At this time, this application only supports associating URLs with video tracks, so that is the only track type displayed in the track list. Any tracks the application does not understand will be exported intact and untouched.
Q: Can I associate a URL with any track type other than video?
A: No, see answer to previous question.
Q: Why can't I use the space bar to start and stop the movie?
A: There is always an active text box in the window, so all keystrokes are assumed to be intended for editing text.
Q: Why can't I use the arrows keys to navigate through the movie?
A: See answer to previous question.
Q: I've heard that URLs can be associated with sprites in a sprite track, is this true?
A: Yes, that is true, but this utility does not support that feature.
Q: I've heard that URLs can be associated with objects in QuickDraw 3D models, is this true?
A: Yes, that is true, but this utility does not support that feature.
