(At least in the common case) The mp4 file is unusable 
before the end of the encoding, ie you cannot stream it 
because some information needed in the beginning of the 
file is only written when encoding ends.
(There may be an option to circumvent this, but usually 
mpegts is the chosen format for udp streaming.)

Please do not top-post here, it is (still) considered rude!
