URLSUBSTITUTE Embed Tag

The URLSUBSTITUTE tag can be used to override URLs in a QuickTime movie. The syntax for this new embed tag is:

URLSUBSTITUTE="<oldprefix>:<newprefix>"

Note that angle brackets <> are required.

If you need more than one URLSUBSTITUTE tag, you need to number them. Note that the QuickTime Plug-in treats any tag that begins with URLSUBSTITUTE the same. Thus, URLSUBSTITUTE1, URLSUBSTITUTE2, and URLSUBSTITUTE99 are all equivalent.

This mechanism allows the same movie assets to be deployed multiple times, for example, on different servers, with different hyperlinks.
