Web codec

What codec (and settings) should I use to export a video for the web? I tried using just DV NTSC, and that looked great, but made a 902MB file out of my 4min. video. That's just too big. I tried MPG4, and that gave me a better file-size (still 3x bigger than it should be), but even at 100% quality, it was very artifacty (unwatchably so).
Any recommendations?

I use it for every single 'Mind' episode, as well as any other feature video I've worked on.
It does tend to crush blacks and lighten video to a weird extent when used on PC. I've found a certain tweaking of the video levels can counteract this, but you have to play with it to know for certain.
Well, I'm encoding directly from Adobe Premier where I created the video. Is that not the best solution? Should I be exporting DV NTSC, then re-encoding for the web with another program?
I always export directly from Premiere. On my Mac I sometimes use Compressor externally after exporting video, but that's done through FCP.
Are you certain you've got Quicktime selected as the file type? That list looks like a list of .avi codecs (ffdshow, cinepak, divx, intel, huffyuv...)
Though my Premiere nomenclature is probably radically different from yours, as I primarily use Version 7, which came out in 2003
