Yes, MEncoder uses the same libavformat MP4 muxer, but it does work fine when used through ffmpeg and Avidemux. People use it all the time.

Thanks for the feedback. In the meantime, I checked again and found once more that avidemux is not really what I want, effectively being too gui bound. The quest continues.
Well, the only scriptable tool that is better than MEncoder for handling telecine and variable framerate scenarios is AviSynth (since its IVTC filters support writing timecode files). I'd suggest using it through Wine if you have an x86 system.
