That's a jump of over two years!

Do you have movies encoded with the old version still? You can run strings -n 10 on it, it should give you the options used for encoding with x264. Here's an example output of a random File I found on my HD (not encoded by me I have to add, so I have no idea if those options make sense :):

x264 - core 67 r1120M 8544346 - H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec - Copyleft 2003-2008 - http://www.videolan.org/x264.html - options: cabac=1 ref=8 deblock=1:0:0 analyse=0x3:0x113 me=umh subme=9 psy_rd=1.3:0.0 mixed_ref=1 me_range=16 chroma_me=1 trellis=2 8x8dct=1 cqm=0 deadzone=21,11 chroma_qp_offset=-2 threads=6 nr=0 decimate=1 mbaff=0 bframes=3 b_pyramid=1 b_adapt=2 b_bias=0 direct=3 wpredb=1 keyint=240 keyint_min=24 scenecut=40 rc=crf crf=18.0 qcomp=0.60 qpmin=10 qpmax=51 qpstep=4 vbv_maxrate=17500 vbv_bufsize=14000 ip_ratio=1.40 pb_ratio=1.30 aq=1:0.80
