You're looking for 3GP, not MP4. It should be fairly easy to enable the
ffmpeg 3GP muxer (yes, they have one), see
gst_ffmpeg_formatid_get_codecids() in gstffmpegcodecmap.c (this is in
gst-ffmpeg because ffmpeg doesn't provide any such logic).

It's not enabled simply because it's not tested, and I dislike adding
random stuff that will most likely crash or not work. If you can provide
a patch and test that it works, I'll happily apply it.
