There's nothing "weird" about this.  The diagnostic output is quite 
clear about what the software is doing (or more precisely, is not 
doing) in this case.

Our "QuickTimeFileSink" code (which implements the writing of ".mov" 
and ".mp4" files) currently doesn't include a mechanism for properly 
storing MPEG-1 or 2 video or audio tracks.  (It supports several 
other codecs - including MPEG-4 and H.264 video, and MPEG-4 (AAC), 
PCM, GSM and QCELP audio - but not (yet) MPEG-1 or 2 video or audio.

You would need to update the "QuickTimeFileSink" code to implement 
MPEG-1 or 2 video and audio.  If you do this, feel free to contribute 
a patch.
