Fast Start

"With Fast Start, your audience downloads an entire QuickTime movie at the highest data rate their connections can support. As soon as the initial part of the movie has been downloaded, QuickTime Plug-in begins to play it back in the browser while it continues to download the rest. Your audience is left with a complete movie file that they can save and replay as often as they want. No special streaming software on the server is needed; all you have to do is create a Fast Start movie (which you can do using QuickTime Player) and embed it in a web page. "

Non-fast-start .mov's can be converted by opening them in the QT Player and saving them under a new name.

Some more information about Fast Start can be found on the apple site.
