Hi,
in my test quicktime play lzw tiff, but does not play zlib (deflate) tiff...
Can you send broken file ?

lzw compress:
./ffmpeg -y -i film.avi -compression_level 2 -vcodec tiff -f mov -an out.mov

zlib compress:
./ffmpeg -y -i film.avi -compression_level 3 -vcodec tiff -f mov -an out.mov

Also, Kamil Nowosad is working on improving the choice of compression in 
tiff...
