hello!
Forget quicktime, if you are on windows. When this one will be really optimized on win plaform and not buggy…
On pc i recommend lagarith codec wich exist in 32 and 64 bit. free and lossless, but 8bits. One of his great advantage it is still developped, multithread,with alpha channel and non destructive compression!
try it!
here the url:

On mac quicktime png is nice but cpu intensive, animation is a nice alternative.
Best regards.
