H.264 is gorgeous. Full stop. It's easy to see why you'd like to use it.
But if you're committed to an easy experience for Windows folks, MP4 is the way. Full stop. Even with iPod adding 50% to Apple's QT numbers, it's still not anything close to universally installed, and even less universally updated -- folks tend to keep it at whatever version that works with their iPods. There's just no reason for most people to upgrade their QT past that.
Especially if they downloaded it recently. :-) It's a pig of a download, takes 2 steps, makes you go through the whole MIME type thing, etc.
As someone who's committed to distributing the best-looking video possible, this is all understandably frustrating. But you can't assume that everyone has QT, or is willing to upgrade. If a good, immediate, cross-platform experience is the goal, MP4 is it.
