FourCCs are related to riff / avi.
mov / mp4 code points can be found here:

Since mpeg1video and mpeg2video are not listed 
it is difficult to find the right code point;-(

But no (good) alternatives are presented on this list either;-(

Note that from a quick look, -f mp4 works fine for one of the codecs.
It uses these object type indicators:
