No its not a joke. I dont know why it didnt work for you, nor why you are so quick to assume that things that dont work for you must be a cruel joke.
Maybe you found a bug or it somehow didnt like your source footage for some reason. Anyway I will continue to reccomend isquint because its free and updated quite regularily. Even if you dont use it, the website can be useful for learning about any new ipod bugs etc. Most of these things like handbrake, ffmpegx, isquint are all using the same encoders, just different User interface sending slightly different encoding options to the encoder. File formats that dont work on one may work on another, encoding speeds may vary, etc, I generally recommend people who arent 100% sorted using quicktime, investigate these options every 3-6 months to see if they could be saving thmselves lots of encoding time or what else is new. These apps also help put pressure on Apple to speed up their own h264 encoding, as happened in recent versions of quicktime/itunes. If you enjoy trying different options then I suggest maybe having a go with the newest test version of isquint, as they have fixed some audio sync issues and other sutff, who knows it may fix your problem. Or just stick with the handbrake option you are used to. Just forgive me for the fact that if you give the handbrake options as best advise to people on this list, I feel the need to offer alternative advise as well, due to the handbrake option not being the quickest. If it works for you then cool, and it certainly will get round any input file format compatibility issues, its just that because it adds intermediate steps that take time, its not the best advise for everyone. I see it as a last resort if ffmpegx, isquint or quicktime dont do what people need. Its not wrong for you to offer it as advise, I just cant help advising that handbrake isnt the quickest/best option for most as its strength is in converting content from DVDs.
