I tried the fast recompress option in Virtualdub and got a massive 21GB avi file that crashes x264.

Edit: I tried feeding the .avi file back through AVIsynth and that works, but the operation becomes disk IO limited instead (a 2TB 7200RPM drive) and shaves off about 2 seconds from the time to decode the entire file. Instead of 2:04 it takes 2:02. So, unless there's something I'm missing this "raw" method doesn't really help benchmarking.
