If you don't specify an encoder (explicitly), the default encoder for the container you specified (either explicitly with -f or implicitly via the output file name) is chosen, not the "best" encoder. If the documentation states something else, it should be fixed. Note that we did change the default encoder for some containers in the past, there is no guarantee that we will not change it again. This is ticket #1325 that should probably be closed as explained by Reimar there.
