Looking for help enoding for web.

Very frustrated here. Currently doing a search on the site for this but no threads of relevance popped up at first so I'll take another pass.

A somewhat simple question. On a Vista PC, in AE CS3, what settings do you use to output the best looking video for the web (specifically Vimeo)?

I exported a 720x480 HD avi clip (video from an HV20) from Vegas 7 into AE (not sure if it's still HD. The setting I chose may have downrezzed it). Before I upload it to the web, I want to remove pulldown and deinterlace (hence why I took it into AE). For the record, I know I'm supposed to remove pulldown before editing, but I need to have this on the web quick and don't have time to start all over.

Now all I want to know, is what settings to use to make it look good and not be a tremendously large file. Everybody tells me to use quicktime and the h.264 codec, but for some reason my computer doesn't like encoding in quicktime. Every time I try it, the audio in the finished movie occasionally goes, "gssshhhhhhhhhhh", ruining the movie. This has left me with avi (or some other unknown format you may know about). Can someone give me some guidance here. I'm lost.
