No, that isn't correct. Unless the program you use went through a painful
process of putting it there. Or you use Qt 2.x or older.
What software is creating the movie file, and on what system and QuickTime
version?

No, you don't. All this "Pro"! option gives you is to do this from inside
the movie player. however, every application can do it because it is a
standard QuickTime feature. "QuickTime Pro" is just a clever trick on part
of Apple to sell several features in the movie player application.
nevertheless, the "Pro" upgrade also includes a few additional encoders
Apple has to license.

Exactly, GraphicConverter always has this option. As do many other
applications.

FrameX to covert the stills to a Movie then MediaPipe to convert to MP4
using QT encoding. QT 6.1.1 (not the pro edition). Neither of which have a
'stand alone' movie option.

Which answers the question I asked in the first place! It would never have
even dawned on me that any software would create a movie can not be
distributed (i.e. uploaded to a unix or windows websever) by default.

In the early days of QuickTime, ten or more years ago, the web was not of
concern. Some software is stiull based on code created back then, and it
might be that certain settings appropriate back then (when there was no web)
survived over the years in various locations like books about QuickTime
programming. Thus, they end up in todays software...
