It is not possible to set the quicktime plugin to: autoplay=false
Movies will play as the users have set it which for most users is as "true" which I beleave is the default by the installer.

The attribute set inside the object tag is the typo "play". Like this:

<object width="384" height="304">
        <param name="movie" value="/nor/content/download/476/2910/nevellfjell_anmarsj.mov" />

        <param name="controller" value="" />
        <param name="play" value="" />
        <param name="loop" value="" />
        <embed src="/nor/content/download/476/2910/nevellfjell_anmarsj.mov"
               type="video/quicktime"
               pluginspage="http://quicktime.apple.com"
               width="384" height="304" play=""
               loop="" controller="" >
        </embed>
        </object>

Any suggestion what to do? is it something in this quicktime.tpl?
The important feature for me in this case is to set the plugin to:

autoplay="false" because there are more than one movie on the same page.

The <a href="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/embed2.html">correct embed tag attributes</a> page at Apple is a place to read about this topic. Not all of the tags are necessary, but I suggest that both the attribute and value can be written in plain text instead of selction with radio buttuns. This opens for user errors, but also for correct usage and attribute creativity and revisjons by the pluggin maker.
