Quicktime Mov not working in mozilla based browser

I've attempted to follow the tutorial on how to embed a quicktime movie into my webpage. My webpage shows the movie in IE but not in FireFox or Netscape. It just shows the Quicktime logo and never starts.

Here's my code:

<object CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" width="318" height="212" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<param name="src" value="China2003_compressed2.mov">
<param name="qtsrc" value="rtsp://streaming.greddin.com/streaming.greddin.com/China2003_compressed2.mov">
<param name="autoplay" value="true">
<param name="loop" value="false">
<param name="controller" value="true">
<embed src="China2003_compressed2.mov" qtsrc="rtsp://streaming.greddin.com/streaming.greddin.com/China2003_compressed2.mov" width="318" height="212" autoplay="true" loop="false" controller="true" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/"></embed>
</object>

Can anyone help me?

Here is the source code I used for my video.

<html>

<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 3.0">
<title>Your Movie</title>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#008000">

<h1 align="center">Title of Movie</h1>

CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<param name="SRC" value="poster.mov">
<param name="QTSRC"
value="rtsp://location of stream/location of stream/movie.mov">
<param name="AUTOPLAY" value="true">
<param name="CONTROLLER" value="false"><embed src="poster.mov"
qtsrc="rtsp://location of stream/location of stream/movie.mov"
width="640" height="480" target="myself" controller="false" autoplay="true">
</object>
</p>
</body>
</html>

Make sure you place a poster.mov file in the same location as this code.
I found out that qtsrc is used by firefox. I accidently forgot to change the field, otherwise I would not have known.
