for a simple screen capture, it's probably better to use something
like GIF or SWF, since more people have renderers for those formats
than for quicktime.
Steve Kemp has a good piece on vnc2swf for capturing SWF movies here:

and byzanz seems to be an up-and-coming tool for making screencap
movies as animated GIFs:
