You should post this over at the Compression techniques forum.

You are not doing anything wrong, it is possible to ‘Zip’ or Stuffit (.sit) QuickTime movies but you will not reduce the size of the file, in some cases you’ll end up with a bigger file.
The only use of Zipping in this case would be to combine a number of Quicktime Movies into one .zip file for easy distribution and delivery.

I’d go with Episode Pro

The easiest is probably to upgrade to QuickTime Pro. QT Pro has some presets specifically for this, it’s not the highest quality, that comes from a package like Xenon – https://www.vidiator.com/products/xenonEncoder.asp.
Many encoding applications rely on Quicktime for .3gp encoding. Xenon has it’s own .3gp engine.

I totally agree with Charles when he suggests viewing the output on a TV: What looks rough on a computer display can look more than acceptable on a ‘TV’ display.

This is the next best thing after a professional hardware standards converter:

cleaner is lousy at generating MPEG-2. Use Compressor, Compression Master or Squeeze.

Cleaner xl was never that great and I found it very clunky to use, personally I’d drop it and go with Procoder.

I’d supply him with 720×480 NTSC DV (non-square) During his encode he’ll drop down to 320×240 (square).
Digital video uses non-sqaure and computers use square. Pay attention to the aspect ratio, not the frame dimensions – i.e. both 720×480 and 320×240 are 4:3.

I’d go with what your website builders are suggesting. Make sure they are encoding using the latest version of the Flash CODEC.
As for square vs non-square, this page may help:
