x264 quality is (mostly, due to missing options) independent of using it FFmpeg, 
MPlayer or the x264 cli. I wrote some incomplete notes on using x264 in FFmpeg 
here: http://rob.opendot.cl/index.php?active=3&subactive=1   Please alter them 
as necessary.

Also note that FFmpeg uses libavformat so if "lavf is broken" then you're not 
going to have any more luck with FFmpeg than you are with MPlayer.
