[FFmpeg-user] merging mp4 (h.264) and aac with acodec copy doesn't work

[Marc]

Meanwhile I found a "workaround". It's makable with MP4box. So obvioulsy 
there cannot be kind of a technical impossibility (header construction 
or kind of that) to merge this two formats together. But I am still 
interested in this point because I have great experiences with ffmpeg.

Best regards
Marc
