Depends on which codec you use to compress the movie.
The new H.264 codec can only be played back on QT7
MPEG-4 can only be played back on QT6 or higher, but that should be most people.
Other codecs should be supported under any version of QuickTime. (In most apps, there is a "Details" or "Advanced" option which reveals which codec is to be used.)
