Apart from not providing complete, uncut console output 
(it is needed for every question on this mailing list), 
please read the fine x264 manual and provide the necessary 
options to libx264 with -x264opts.

This way of handling x264 options allows FFmpeg to support 
latest changes / new options in x264 without any code change.
