Hello,
I am actually not sure about the revision of the x264. I am using mencoder for 
Fedora 7 by Livna repository, and (assuming) the x264 version by Livna also.

$ rpm -q mencoder x264
mencoder-1.0-0.81.rc2.lvn7
x264-0-0.8.20061028.lvn7

I think I will try to build my own mencoder and x264 library with the latest 
version and see how it goes. Thanks for the respond.
