You should be able to use "Export as Quick Time Movie" from the QC "File" menu drop down. This will RENDER, which is different than opening a .qtz in QuickTime. It's very limited in that there is no way to "interact", but I believe this will allow you to "get a 3d model into QuickTime."
This does not Render the movie: it essentially makes a .qtz with a thin .mov wrapper. Export a complex composition this way, and set the play time to 60 hours; there's no way QC can render so many frames nearly instantaneously. The file size would also be much larger than the composition (assuming the output wasn't trivially compressible). A second test would be trying to play such movies on windows; it doesn't work for embedded .qtz movies. A third test is to create a composition with the javascript patch, and then open the exported movie in a hex editor. You'll see your source code in there -- that should happen with a real movie (unless the exporter embedded the composition too, for some reason....)
To actually render a composition to a real mov (i.e. one that plays on windows too), you can open compositions in QuickTime Pro, which can transcode the composition to an h264 or mpeg-4 or codec-du-jour movie. Except that it doesn't load 3rd party plugins, which is what Adam was inquiring about.
