Heh, the question is: what options did you use in x264. Big piece of options 
gives 2fps encoding (Athlon64 3000+ :P) but the true is, that it's still 
under development. I noticed that xvid makes video blocked, x264 blurred, 
that's why xvid looks sometimes better (you can deblock but not deblur...)
