Mencoder or x264 for x264 cording, and why?
It depends.. if you want AVI output, mencoder is clearly preferable. If you want mp4 output, x264 is more practical. Right now with the summer break this one doesn't matter much, but the reason I added support for another encoder in a mencoder GUI is because x264.exe is smaller and more up-to-date.. we're lucky to get one mencoder build a week, but the latest x264 compilations are out only hours after a new revision has been committed.

But I'm glad you're using mencoder.. you discovered two bugs.. not good for me but good for all the other users.
