okay...

Here's the profile:
[264HD]
profile-desc="264 HD encoding"
of=rawvideo=1
sws=9
nosound=1
mc=0
ovc=x264=1
x264encopts=qp=18:bframes=4:partitions=all:me=umh:nocabac:nofast_pskip:nodct_decimate:frameref=6:subq=6:mixed_refs:level_idc=31:threads=auto

And here's the command line:

mencoder input -o output.264 -profile 264HD

And the entire output of mencoder, with the warning about the output 
format being AVI:
