Hi Johnny,
AFAIK Quicktime supports alpha channels either through the "Animation"
Codec or through Uncompressed Mov's. Animation Codec is lossless and
compresses reasonably well.

You could try to layer the movie over another image in the blender
compositor or just check the file's properties in quicktime player, if
you have it installed.

Cheers,
