I did not compare ffmpeg and mencoder results, but I can confirm that
encoding video with x264 through libavcodec / ffmpeg often results in a
lot of blocks, and the quality is not that good (it is quite easy to get
a better quality - at the same bitrate - with ffmpeg MPEG4)

I suspect libavcodex/x264.c defaults set some strange value in the x264,
but I've not been able to track it down (I do not know anything about
x264 and its parameters).
