[Richard Cooper] “Adding a little “noise” as Terry suggests”
Did he! I though that was me? 😉

[Terry Coolidge] “I’m thinking I just can’t do anything about it, which seems frustrating to me.”
Considering that it will be delivered through Keynote there’s probably not anything you can do about it.
One last thing is that you could try and add a small amount of noise (or grain) to your AE Render.

Did you also try the PhotoJPEG codec?
It’s worth mentioning that you’ll see banding on even high budget DVD productions, sometimes it’s unavoidable. Just how severe is it?__________________________________________________________________

First of all just try encoding to H.264 in compressor using the Animation movie you’ve already got.

The problem you are seeing is down to bad colour space conversion.
Do you have access to a dedicated encoding application like compressor or Episode or even Handbrake? – They’ll all do a better job than and export out of Quicktime Pro.
If not – try exporting as PhotoJPEG at 75% or over.

[Olive Green] “I recently downloaded the x264Encoder.component version 1.0.1 from mac’s website.”
From where?
[Olive Green] “I adjust the frame rate to 24fps”
Why adjust down from 25fps?
[Olive Green] “- I set data rate to automatic”
You DO NOT want to do that.
[Olive Green] “The problem is that I need to be able to set the Container Level Colour Adjustment to 5-1-6 Composite Pal/Digital 625 as I believe this will help my video to be viewed correctly over the inernet.”
Who told you that?
You might want to have a look at some other applications to do the Job:
Handbrake – https://handbrake.fr/?article=download
and
Xdot – https://xdot.command-q.org/

I am honestly shocked to the core.
There’s life in the old dog yet!
Be back later, I have a few hats to eat!

[Chris Blair] “Is is better to re-size to your final dimensions before going into the dedicated compression app, or better to output at the original size, frame-rate etc. and let the compression software do the rest?”
I ALWAYS let the transcoder application do the resizing, unless I’m coming out of something like After Effects or Shake.
[Chris Blair] “but some of our tests have showed the opposite is true, especially with older but still widely used codecs like On2’s VP6 and VP7 codecs”
Remember that it is the host application, not the CODEC that does the resizing and frame rate conversion in most cases. These are generally part of the pre-process, but not always, depending on the app. Apps like Flix muddy the waters between the application and the codec of course.

[Michael Shick] “This is really puzzling. Maybe Quicktime always interprets the 6-1-6 nclc as a 2.2 gamma, and displays the video accordingly (just like FCP does), whereas it plays around when displaying in 1-1-1? “
You might find this thread interesting (not a solution):
https://osdir.com/ml/quicktime-api/2009-04/msg00004.html
I trust these issues will all be sorted with Quicktime X, in Snow Leopard.

I very seriously doubt whether you could tell the difference between Rec. 601 and Rec. 709, even with the best monitor available and everything else taken into consideration.
Compare blue and red lines here: https://home.comcast.net/%7Etlhuffman/gamuts_white.jpg
That said, HDV is Rec. 709, not Rec. 601 as you state – those recommendations apply not only to colour space but also to many other elements of the picture.
Rec. 601 came about before there was specification for display gamut.

It’s also highly unlikely that you have your monitoring perfectly calibrated, no disrespect here, but even those who proclaim to be expert at calibration can’t get two high end monitors to match.
And there’s an argument that much professional monitoring equipment has not been updated to Rec. 709 specs.
You do however raise some very interesting points relating to the way FCP displays an image next to plain QT player. I’d always trust the picture in FCP over what QT player displays.
