I see my H.264 compressed .mov file produced in MPEG Streamclip looks far
better in the newest VLC than when running under the 3ivx decoder in
other media players.  In VLC, the sky apears as a smooth gradient,
while in other players, the 3ivx decoding shows aliasing, flickering
horizontal ribbons, very distracting.

I wiped Apple off my P4 XP machine for QT replacement, so I'm not able
to compare for myself, but I've read other users prefered VLC QT
output over Apple's own media player, and I expect it's VLC's
smoothing.  I thought I'd loaded a much less compressed version of the
clip by mistake, VLC looks that good in this instance.  It's great to
have 3ivx for .MP4  and .mov playback under other media players, but
for the heavilly compressed H.264 files I'll vlog with, I'll recommend
viewers download VLC.  The alternative is to use less compression--
not good!

I won't be recommending Apple's nagware to my vlog visitors, or QT
replacement, or 3ivx.  I'll recommend VLC player, to better reflect my
artistic H.264 .mov visions-- with smooth skies that don't flutter and
vibrate.
