you are handling the 3 pass commands wrongly! what you are doing here is a 2pass with one pass done for nothing

the failure here is that --pass 2 doesnt stand for "2nd pass", but for "last pass", which means it doesnt update the .log file (x264 uses by default the .log extension for the stats and not .stats)
--pass 3 updates the .log file tough

so the order has to be that way:
--pass 1
--pass 3
--pass 2

MP4Box.exe -fps 29.970 -add "test.mp4" -fps 29.970 -add "test.m4a" "final_video.mp4"
audio has no framerate! you dont need to set -fps 29.97 twice, only once for the video
