Awesome!

Yes. There's ffenc_mpeg4, which is probably what you want. There's also
xvidenc and divxenc, but Apple's Quicktime/MPEG-4 decoder probably won't
decode those. Lives in gst-ffmpeg, status is working.

Yes, faac. Requires libfaac, lives in gst-plugins. Dunno about status. I
guess it works mostly, but I might need to update one or two bits since
we've moved to a new capsnego system since I wrote it.

No. That's a Quicktime muxer, btw. ;).

Sort of, but I don't know its status or how that works.

By testing them extensively and reporting all bugs. I'll gladly help in
fixing bugs or learning how to fix them yourself. Read the Plugin
Writer's Guide to learn how to write/fix plugins.
