"Most optimal" depends on what you want to do with the video.  If I was
encoding some video to store for myself I would be very happy with what
x264 produces. If I was going to keep the images anyway, I wouldn't
bother with encoding them.

You might want to take note of this message.

I'm sorry it isn't actually any faster and I am a little surprised that
320x240 video should be so slow.
