Every time I exit, it defaults back to "Animation" (or whatever the default compression is).
Thanks in advance
Forgot to mention this is on a Mac OSX.

It's not the answer but I figured out a workaround to make sure you always get H.264 compression for all playblast quicktime creation.
Edit your userSetup.mel and include the following line. This forces the user to set the compression at the start of each Maya session ensuring the desired QT compression.
playblast -options;
