And you're sure, that x264 works with mplayer?

I can compile x264, but ./configure of mplayer still says

Checking for x264 ... no

When I have a look at configure.log, there are a lot of complaints about
unused references, so x264 will not be used.

============ Checking for x264 ============

#include <inttypes.h>
#include <x264.h>
#if X264_BUILD < 29
#error We do not support old versions of x264. Get the latest from SVN.
#endif
int main(void) { x264_encoder_open((void*)0); return 0; }

Ok, my platform is CYGWIN, but perhaps there are not many differences in
the special case of x264.
