I am using this in my apache mime.types file:

video/quicktime                 qt mov

Note that "Quicktime" is not MPEG4.  MPEG4 is a compression method 
used by some variants of "Quicktime" as well as an international 
standard video stream for other uses as well.  "Quicktime" is just a 
container format.
