Well I suggest saying QT is crap is a bit harsh.

I will look at MPEG4 closer to the time, but I am very aware of the artefacts it
can introduce to clean CG content ... never designed for that. Whereas with QT I
know I can choose a codec that doesn't introduce artefacts. Sure I know there is
an issue with Linux, and I knew the movie format was going to be an issue when I
proposed this.
