2- There is also a gamma difference between:
Rec. 601 video (SD)
sRGB, for computer monitors and digital still cameras.

Quicktime does do things to account for this... i.e. when importing and exporting stills into FCP, FCP will change the gamma of the image.
I know that MPEG4 can do this. It is referenced in one of my FCP manuals concerning output. Just not sure that all H.264 encoders can do this.

MAC gamma runs 1.0 while PC Gamma runs 2.2 (which is the same as many television CRTs).
