You can now embed multimedia files into a Confluence page as as easily as you can an image. Confluence supports these formats:
Other types of files can be used, but may require the specification of the "classid", "codebase" and "pluginspage" properties in order to be recognised by web browsers. If you get an error 'Unable to embed content of type application/octet-stream', this means the mime-type is not being correctly recognised. You can add a type parameter to the embedded markup to override the auto-detected mime-type. See below for an example. To embed a multimedia file, Attach the file to the page. You can then include it as you would include an image, like this: !filename.mov! UsageTo play .avi files, you require to specify the dimensions and type. !test.avi|height=200,width=200,id=media! NOTE: Due to security reasons, files located on remote servers are not permitted. OptionallyDefine the properties of the embedded object using a comma separated list of properties !filename.mov|height=800,width=600,id=media! Overriding the mime-type of a file without a meaningful extension: !filename|type=image/jpeg!

Is it necessary to have a separate streaming server running on your machine? It works fine with Quicktime movies, but I can't get even the simplest WMVs to play. Ideas?

Given that they have an IE browser plugin viewer, I bet this could work pretty well. Imagine building a mindmap of links into your Confluence wiki space as an alternative means of navigation?
Sounds pretty cool to me.

Gliffy is really nice for simple diagrams, but visio it is not.
Mindmanager and any other mindmap maps are an incredibly useful for giving a visual sense of what's going on for a complex project. I see them as a perfect complement to confluence, as visual indexes or table of contents to a section of pages, or to an entire space.

I recently faced this problem myself: How to embed my mindmanager mindmaps inside my personal wiki. I created a service that will dynamically convert the map to freemind format, and allow you to embed as either a flash viewer or java applet.

Kudos on your application!
Also, since Mind Manager will export maps as jpeg's, why not just attach the pages that way?

I was hoping to create pages that included some QT movies but not have them automatically play when the page loads.

I uploaded the files trough attachments. They are in the same location as the images. The images don't give the problem, only the flash files.
Any ideas?

The solution to this is store all referenced media (images, css) that are loaded in the page, over ssl. in non-ssl mode, there will be no complaint over mixed source content (page from http, resources from https).
use a packet capture tool like Wireshark to pull out trick resources, or load the page from https and check the source for http:// references...

!blah.vsd|type=application/x-visio,classid=clsid:279D6C9A-652E-4833-BEFC-312CA8887857,codebase=vviewer.exe!
It doesn't resolve to the proper link for the codebase (although the blah.vsd is fine). But if I use the full http:// to the viewer, Confluence converts it into an href in the rendered page.

I've been looking over their documentation for a support request on this very issue, and the only parameters available for controlling the playback window are the simple height and width.
I agree that it looks goofy, but unfortunately this is one thing over which we've no control. I'll be happy to stand corrected, but for now that's the best of my knowledge.
