The problem with this is that while vlc is a stand-alone browser plugin, 
XiphQT uses the system quicktime. There's probably some nasty way to 
hack this, but really, for this to work you'd need to *install* XiphQT 
on the system's hard disk and then use an embedded QuickTime player 
inside your html. But that's not quite a live cd.

What you *can* do is the use the cortado java player, served alongside 
the html from the cd.

HTH,
