If I understand correctly, you have started with a QuickTime movie that you
have converted to a Flash file. That Flash file is either swf or flv,
correct?

If so, then any talk of a 'QuickTime codec' is inaccurate. There is no
longer any codec involved - a CODEC is a COder and DECoder used on video
files of various file formats (Real, MPG4, QuickTime etc). The Flash file
format does not use codecs.

So the quick answer is that so long as your users have the appropriate Flash
player installed then your users should be able to play your Captivate
movies and will not need to have QuickTime installed.
