I've upgraded all the videos on my site to Flash, and there is code (Flash
Satay, amongst others) that works with all browsers and still follows all
standards. Trust me, this is the way you want to go - my experience with
Quicktime is that the files tend to be bulky, and there's no way they have
the quality that a Flash video file will. I used to use Windows Media Video
because it had a decent file size, but that got ditched once Flash came
along.
This is the code I use to embed Flash on my site that doesn't give the W3C
Validator any errors:

Quicktime movies can be imported into Flash, which has much higher
browser penetration. And there is lots of information available on
embedding flash in a gracefully degradable way.
