According to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q316992#30 , "Only QuickTime files version 2.0 or earlier can be played in Windows Media Player. Later versions of QuickTime require the proprietary Apple QuickTime Player." QuickTime is now up to what, 5? 6? There must be at least some benefits of these newer file formats that would be lost if the older format was used... If you want *run-on-everything-out-of-the-box* compatibility, avoid QuickTime... go with some generic MPEG or AVI standard.
