So, I can create h264 video:

# /usr/local/bin/mencoder -o /tmp/80056336515605765.mp4
/root/videotest/Crete_Faistas.avi -fps 25.0 -of lavf -lavfopts
format         =mp4 -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=128 -srate 22050 -ovc lavc
-lavcopts
vcodec=libx264:vbitrate=288:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3:predia=2:di
a=2:vmax_b_frames=0:vb_strategy=1:precmp=2:cmp=2:subcmp=2:preme=2:qns=2 -vf
scale=576:432

Unfortunately, it is not playable by Flowplayer. As I guess the problem is
related to AVI container in the result file.

Is there any way to put it in the MP4 container?
