I'll second Brook's suggestion. Convert to H.264
using using Multi-pass encode with Frame Rate
Current, Key Frames Automatic, Data Rate Automatic and
Quality Best. Then you can choose from a variety of
presentation options including but not limited to
presenting via Quicktime or iTunes or using Digital
Cinema Desktop Preview from FCP.
