I need an output file that can be played on a iPod whch is why I stated MP3 conversion but this isn't fixed.

If everything in the audio tab is blanked out it means that MediaCoder (or MediaInfo and Mplayer) don't recognize your real audio input, I havn't found a solution for this problem, yet. :(
MediaCoder settings:

x264 (backend/source: mencoder, fps: 23,976, Fabio Sonatti's settings) + nero aac 64 in matroska
