my limited experience with mencoder and mp4, tells me you can't create
mp4 from mencoder, you have to create avi files and then use MP4Box to
extract the video and the audio and then re mux them back into mp4
container.

you seems to be doing the same thing but with ffmpeg

He was a supporter of Ann Richards in my run in And she had named him the head of the Governor's Business Council. And I decided to leave him in place, just for the sake of continuity. And that's when I first got to know Ken and worked with Ken."
