I'd advise you to start off an iPod encoding profile, as mine:

[faac-audio]
profile-desc="AAC audio with FAAC"
oac=faac=yes
faacopts=mpeg=4:object=2:br=128:raw=yes
af=lavcresample=44100

[ipod-h264]
profile-desc="H.264 encoding for iPod with x264"
profile=faac-audio
of=lavf=yes
lavfopts=format=mp4
ovc=x264=yes
x264encopts=global_header:vbv_maxrate=1500:vbv_bufsize=2000:keyint=500:threads=a
uto:subq=6:me=umh:level_idc=13:nocabac:psnr=yes:bitrate=1200
vf=harddup
