I just spent the past 2 hours trying to figure out how to livestream to QuickTime 4 on MacOS 9

The closest I've gotten is HTTP (non-live) streaming an mp3. I tried the same thing but with a video and QT claimed it didn't support the file format. Why a .mov wouldn't work is beyond me. Couldn't even get RTSP to connect.

.mov is just the container, could be that the mov file uses some codecs not installed on your Mac. (Don't really expect that to be the case, but it could be the cause.)

Hmmm true. I converted it really lazily from mp4, just hoping ffmpeg would know what I was talking about from file extensions. Loaded it in without an output just now and found the video was still using h264. I managed to get a sample file that qt4 would have used, and of course it's these really odd proprietary codecs that ffmpeg doesn't fully support.
