This is a hard one cause of the alpha channel. I'd render Lossless in conjunction with JPG2000 or PNG sequence for delivery (All support Millions of colors +). Xfer the PNGs by FTP and have a courier pickup a DVD or hard drive to deliver the files tonight.
.MP4 H264 is the best to preserve quality and file size, but unfortunately does not support alpha channel.

As stated above, JPG2000, PNG, or TIFF are viable options for img seq delivery, which all .zip compress VERY well (like 4.5 GB can compress into <30MB).
If it needs to be a quicktime (and/or contain audio) ProRes 4444 is also an alternative to animation and/or uncompressed and also supports an alpha channel.

Curious, is the ProRes 4444 codec available in AE CS5? Or Episode? Or does the codec need to be purchased separately for AE?
- I believe it's available with the latest quicktime? If not, it might only be quicktime pro. I have FCP installed so it automatically upgrades qt.DoTheMacarena

i know this questions been answered, but I recently had to do this, and I had great results doing a targa img sequence, then zipping up all the img seq files, rather than making a QT animation, which is massive. These were 10 second shots, straight outta 3D, and rather than have a 2+gig file, i was dealing with approx 600mbs files. Pretty slick.

Use Decklink plug-in. I believe it's free.
