What do you mean with 'open standard'? I've never heard of this and Apple's
website doesn't say anything like this. The only GPL thing found by Google
is OpenQuickTime.org, which is a library for .mov file handling, but this
doesn't make QuickTime open at all. If you want to go the open road better
embed a MPEG in Flash, at least the specs have been published (and the
installed base is somewhat wider). You'll have smaller files, too.
By the way, QuickTime can be a real nuisance on Windows: every time the
player launches it will try to write itself to the registry to be launched
at startup time. Bugger.
