This is not the way science works. If you want to publish results, you
must accompany them with evidence that shows them to be correct.
Otherwise you're just publishing opinions, and when you misleadingly
pretend they're the result of scientific testing procedure...

Apparently I hadn't since you misunderstood something as basic as the

Because it's among the worst 3 or 4 containers in existence, and no
one with any technical competence about containers would even consider
using it. Apparently you don't know anything about it and just
ignorantly think it's a natural choice, probably either because it's
called ".mp4", or because Apple and other lame corps use it.

As for an alternative, mpeg4-es (no container at all) would be totally
appropriate.
