QuickTime's mpeg4 encoding pretty much sucks, unfortunately. The biggest problem I've always had with QuickTime Pro exporting is keyframing, the defaults always give you the pulsing picture quality. You might try extending the keyframe interval a bit to see if that helps (as that made the pulsing go away for me, at least until I moved to mencoder ).
