The only way to do it with really good results with H264 I guess is to set the Keyframes to 1 so basically you just get a stream of I-Frames (as in fully encoded stills). Basically an Intra file, a file with a GOP of 1 (group-of-pictures). Wherever you host it though is going to reencode it with a longer GOP, but vimeo will at least allow you to make the original file downloadable. The file will have to be very large though compared to a normal H264 encoded file, as you'll need to set a high bitrate to make sure you're not starving the I-Frames. For example the AVC-Intra flavour of H264 has a fixed bitrate (CBR) of 100Mbps. I shoot an Intra format with my camera that tends to be around 120-140Mbps, but I'm not making single frame films so I can re-encode with a much longer GOP.
