It creates native-order H264/MPEG4 streams for -ovc x264 and -ovc  
xvid, but stores avi-style streams.
There's no extradata and all frames have increasing pts even if b- 
frames are on. (like the big warning says, I guess)
Samples are in mplayerhq/incoming under mencoder-mkv.

Also, the container DAR is set wrong; I don't see sample_aspect_ratio  
being set anywhere in muxer_lavf.
I'll try to send a patch for that myself.

Haven't tried -ovc lavc yet.

(that's aside from the normal CFR/a/v sync model brokenness, but - 
ofps 120000:1001 takes care of that pretty well)
