Takes long to load hidden Quicktime embeds

I have about 5 Quicktime movies that I hide with jQuery when the site first loads. I noticed when I put the site online that when I open the site it takes 5-10 seco开发者_StackOverflow社区nds to show any content. Sometimes I even get a "beach ball" cursor as if the browser is frozen.

It's not like all the videos need to be preloaded before the site can load, and it feels more like a processor freeze. What exactly is happening here and how can I kill this load time?

That should be because at that time Quick Time is activating the QuickTime plugin. It should depend on Browser capabilities and QuickTime plugin.

What you can do, use jQuery's load method and inject quick time codes after page is completed and parse the code.
