This is missing the debug part of the error message. I'm guessing it
says something with "not-negotiated"?

Are we supposed to guess what your myelement_enc does? What caps do you
output? You are probably either outputting things in a format not
supported by mp4mux (check gst-inspect-1.0 mp4mux ; or try qtmux), or
your encoder is outputting things in a stream-format that is not
supported by mp4mux (e.g. h264 in byte-stream format instead of AVC
format; insert an h264parse after your encoder then). Or your output
caps are missing some fields that mp4mux requires (again, check
gst-inspect-1.0 mp4mux).
