Patrick,
A non-streaming 4.3GB QT file might be giving some browsers fits. A
suggestion would be to gin up a small QT file (say 30 seconds of your
movie) using your existing methodology and see if it plays on the
suspect browsers. This would validate whether your authoring flow is the
issue or if the problem lies in the file size.
If the file size is the culprit (sometimes size matters :-)), you could try:
1) authoring the movie in smaller chapter segments and put navigation
links to them on the HTML page. Sort of like a DVD menu page.
2) If the project allows it, drop the resolution and/or frame rate to
reduce the file size. Also, look at the audio rate.
3) Try authoring in H.264 format. You might get better compression.
