As far as i see, none of the HD formats will support "the" mp4 contanier,
as defined by the ITU and the MPEG group, anyway (maybe supported as streaming thou).
HD-DVD are using *.EVO and blu-ray something else.
The situation will be like the DVD era, where mpeg2 is supported only
via vob container (players that plays mpegiso are not really standard players).
I reckon nero will later offer authouring methods for h264 into EVO.

So personlly i don't see a point to support mp4 or even any industrial standards.

Btw AAC is pretty useless, if you can have dts-ex and dolby whatever (truehd ?).
