To embed a streaming move is hard, even Apple just launches the quicktime player to view a streaming movie. It is possible but you have to do a lot of configurations to the server to make it work.
The streaming allows the user to instantly start viewing the movie, rather than having to download the entire thing first. But, since you mention it...

Do YOU know how to set it up?

So... I assume by "Apple just launches the QuickTime player" you mean that they open up the full program interface and display it that way. Fine, that would work for me. Can you do that from HTML?
