Nonsense. I use mencoder to encode to mp4 containers all the time, and
without AV synch issues. I just don't use b-frames.

Having said that, I am coming around to the idea that h.264 is not the
be-all and end-all of video encoding that some people think it is. I've
been using mpeg4 for HD encodes (720p) because the artifacts are not as
annoying as those from h.264. To my eyes, mpeg4 seems "truer" to the
original source. I use h264 for those applications and devices that
require it (ipod/iphone).
