Only two, both small:
a) in the track header flags, you need to set them to at least enable 
the track (1);  I'd recommend 7 as the value, as that enables the 
track for playback in normal play and preview also;
b) I think QuickTime is balking at loading such a large chunk.  Most 
3G phones also load each media chunk by chunk, so you should still 
chunk up your media into say, 1/2 second intervals.  QuickTime *can* 
play your file if you ask it to save a movie (which re-chunks it), so 
that is my suspicion.
Very close!
