    Hi there, I experience this quite often - not always.

    1. Input: .MOV (iMovie export, h.264 or mpeg-4)
    2. MP4 H.264 mencoder preset
    3. CABAC, bframes, two-pass (its' the same w/out two-pass)
    4. Possibly pointless: space in filename

    Video compression works like a charm, I tried to copy the *.264 elementary stream while audio was normalized and it is perfect.

    When muxing occurs, this happens:

    It results into a completely black video track...
    Now I'm using a work-around by copying the elementary 264 stream during audio compression, then I use MKVToolnix to mux and Quicktime7 to export.

    Is there something that could be fixed?

    Just checked... same result with no blank spaces in the whole path.
    Apparently it depends on video (large 720p export from iMovie, not always).

    I forgot to mention it... of course I registered ffmpegX, years ago!

    If at least the "Keep Elementary Streams" option was working, I wouldn't have to keep the eye on the exact moment of audio encoding in order to copy the .264 stream (which is good!)

    Still pending…
    For the time being when I compress files from iMovie I create before a folder with the exact target name.
    I get an error, I have elementary streams, and the I mix them with MKVToolnix (with a further export/reincapsulation from QTP7)
