Would this be a good reason to go wmv, as mp4 downlaods wont play without additional software for those surfers.
Stream the MP4, everyone will be able to see it. And if you must, provide a WMV for download. Or a WMV and a MP4, let them decide.

I had issues with qt-faststart as well. Have not had any issues since I changed to MP4FastStart. My work flow is Vegas Video > Handbrake > MP4 FastStart (or Sorenson Squeeze if I want another format).
