For mp4mux to finish the file correctly (in both modes) it must receive the EOS event to know that it can write the headers. You should check that the EOS event is being pushed to the pipeline and that it reaches mp4mux. gst-launch will print some text about pushing EOS once you press ctrl-c. When that happens, be sure to wait and not press ctrl-c again, that will abort gst-launch without properly waiting for EOS. -- Thiago <div><div class="h5"> > > Please help.
