Sarah,
I can't get the video to play on any of my machines, in the web page or in the QuickTime application.

I've got an sample HTML that you can use as a model at
http://ncam.wgbh.org/richmedia/media/carqt/

Also, your quicktime movie's width was not correctly identified in MAGpie, resulting in the video region being unnecessarily large and the video
being up in the corner. The smil file below fixes this problem, but it is an easy adjustment in the MAGpie properties dialog.

<smil xmlns:qt="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/smilextensions" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-smil" qt:time-slider="true"
qt:autoplay="true">

<region height="60" width="320" background-color="white" left="5" top="130" id="textregion" />
</layout>
</head>
<body>
<par dur="0:16:42.30">
<video alt="Time Management" dur="0:16:42.30" region="videoregion" src="rtsp://quicktime.dartmouth.edu/~cc/smil/TM.mov" />
<textstream alt="English captions for Time Management" dur="0:16:42.30" region="textregion" src="http://www.dartmouth.edu/~shorton/smil/TM.txt" />
</par>
</body>
</smil>

Hope this helps,
