[MEncoder-users] mp4, aac and mencoder confusion...

[Justin Randall]

Mencoder can't support mp4 because it can't support B-frames, so
there's no point in trying mp4 until mencoder can do B-frames
properly. The only container that I've ever had any success with is
.avi, which is old and outdated, and surely it makes no sense
whatsoever to put MPEG-4 AVC stuff into an avi container. Telling
somebody not to use B-frames is completely ridiculous. A better
suggestion would be don't use mencoder cause it can't do what you want
it to do yet. Use ffmpeg and MP4Box for the time being.
