Indeed, that's very high on the TODO list and this specific missing 
feature is even mentioned in the package description. We really need 
someone with the necessary expertise to port the libmp4v2-using code 
to use libavformat (or a similarly licensed library) instead.

The point is that handbrake currently uses libmp4v2 for MP4 muxing. 
That library is licensed under the MPL, whereas the vast rest of the 
code is licensed under the GPL. Since both licenses are 
non-compatible, it is not possible for us to distribute a GPL'ed 
package that links against MPL'ed code.
