You need to dowload and install the free issue of this MP4-based  
compressor component from <http://www.3ivx.com/>. No installation at  
all needed on the end-users computers as long as QT6 or more is  
available.  Compression quality results are three time better than in  
using the standard MP4 compressor and three time lesser good than in  
using H.264. Good playback on any G3 600 Mhz / Athlon XP 2000 and  
more based computers where H.264 need G5/PIV to a fluent play-back.

Best,
