So I made a background in LiveType that I want in my presentation with transparency. The QT-file that LT spits out work fine, but it's 212 MB (even on my G5 iMac it stutters when it starts)! But when I compressed it to h.264 I lost transparency.

Any other codecs support transparency? I need it to be able to play on a 1Ghz PB, so I guess Pixlet is out of the question

Just setting it Animation isn't enough though, FYI.. make sure your colorspace is set to Millions of Colors+ Emphasis on the + as it's the alpha channel...
