Hello,

I use

frameref=3:turbo=1:me=hex:subq=7:partitions=all:mixed_refs=1:fast_pskip=0:threads=auto:dct_decimate=0:nocabac:level_idc=30

8x8dct is a showstopper. "B" frames are as well, so "bime" is not
necessary. CABAC isn't supported also. "level_idc" must be "30".

Also MP4Box has an -ipod switch. Maybe that's needed to be able to load
the videos on your iPod with iTunes.
