Sony DSC-M1 camera wraps MP4 in a MOV format:

    $ mplayer photos/101mnv01/m4v00035.mp4

    Opening audio decoder: [faad] AAC (MPEG2/4 Advanced Audio Coding)
    AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 128.0 kbit/8.33% (ratio: 16000->192000)
    Selected audio codec: [faad] afm: faad (FAAD AAC (MPEG-2/MPEG-4 Audio) decoder)

This won't play on my Philips DVP642 player.  Video is nice, but no audio.

OK, so I re-encode the audio with:

    mencoder -ovc copy -oac mp3lame -o avi/m4v00035.avi m4v00035.mp4

This won't play video OR audio.  Player just says "STOP".  I think its because
its wrapper is now AVI:

    AVI file format detected.

Does anybody know how to get it in MOV wrapper instead of AVI wrapper???
