If you inserted QuickTime mov into your web page, it will not play on many platforms except for Mac. Must avoid to use QuickTime plugin. (If you are using iWeb, MUST NOT drag a videoclip to iWeb. Many of the visitors would NOT be able to watch it!) This widget can play every platform with HTML5 power and you can place a video file to anywhere on web such as Dropbox, Google+, and etc... This best video player is from VideoJS.

To make a Cover (poster) image:
You can simply extract a frame that will be used as the cover from a video via VLC. (If you do not have this video player yet, please download it here: http://www.videolan.org/. After installation, play your movie then pause it when you see a specific frame that you want to extract to a cover picture. Then choose a menu, "Video > Snapshot" on the top. A captured image will be saved into your local folder.
To make a Subtitle:
A subtitle should be WebVTT (extension: 'vtt'). You can create a vtt file from Microsoft Caption Maker (but we wouldn't recommend the MS tool because it's too buggy.) or using just a text editor.
Below is an example of 'WebVTT' subtitle format. (You can download our sample vtt file from here. For the best working, place a subtitle file to your web server.)

We'd highly recommend to use free cloud services like Dropbox / Google Drive to host your multimedia because they provide more stable and speedy connection.
