Using iPhone Quicktime Video In A Text Link

After searching and searching for a way to use a text link to open up a video in the Quicktime player on the iPhone, I finally came across a solution.
For the older 3.0.1 version, which is pickier, this is the solution:

The .mp4 file type works for both the 3.0.1 iPhone software, as well as the 3.1 iPhone software. I converted the file from its original .mp4 settings using Compressor, and changed the settings to work with the iPhone. With this solution, you don’t need to actually embed the video, and can simple use a text link to play the video.
