How Turn MOVs into MOV-H264 Hybrids?

I would like to show MOV files in a PDF. They're videos of deaf sign language ASL) which readers of the PDF, who are linguists, will want to watch one frame at a time, hence my choice of MOV. This used to be possible till someone found a security hole in MOV files, causing Adobe to make it difficult to embed them, and even then users have to express their assent on each one - now apparently not just once per PDF but again for each and every MOV file individually, at least if one links to them (I haven't yet tested embedding). Previous versions worked okay with H.264 but I had to say goodbye to one frame at a time...  

 

And now I read that it can show MOV files that are H.264 on the insides, so to speak. So what I'm hoping is that I'll be able to get the MOV interface (and frame-by-frame viewing) with no blocks in the path put there by Adobe. But how to I do that in Adobe Media Encoder? Is there a preset for it? 

(Note that I'm not talking about just changing a MOV into an MP4. Even Handbrake can do that!

 

Thanks for your help.
