The compression appears nearly lossless and is set to 100% with this file size. I found that the processor utilization is very low on this type of compression, ensuring smooth playback. Is there an actual Quicktime compression... a proprietary codec? I am definitely disappointed with Cinepak. It pixelated out animation last year even though it was set to 100% quality. Don't use Cinepak... Any help is apprecaited.

No, there is no Quicktime Codec, there are a bunch of codec that can be selected with Quicktime. The codec he has got up there is the Sorenson 3 Codec, which is a good codec, and has lower CPU decompression cycles, but not as standard compliant as MPEG-4 is.
