why do you use 1 fps as default duration for mkvmerge? it should be 23.976
fps, eg
--default-duration 0:23.976fps

also you may want to add -ofps 24000/1001 when doing pullup. I would also
suggest you try out the h264enc script which can make your life much easier
and allows you to save the settings and tweak them further to your liking.
