1) Please read README.rtf file
It is inside distributed dmg file. It is helpful to start, or to trouble-shoot.

2) Try MPEG Streamclip
For most casual purpose (i.e.non-productive-personnel), MPEG Streamclip 1.9.2 from Squared 5 (FREE!) is enough solution. It can use many QuickTime components, and support direct output to mp4 container using x264Encoder. QuickTime Player 7 Pro does not yet.

3) YouTube Channel
I have made YouTube channel. It could be your help.

4) Please use "log info" checkbox
It will write out SEI information which comes from libx264, into system.log. You can see system.log in /Applications/Utilities/Console.app.

Following shows the sample output of LOGINFO in system.log. You can see the longest line which contains many parameters. It is called SEI information, and requirement for tracking your problem.
