@Warrenc:
Not shure about the availability of a 64 bit version of libavcodec
but this would mean that you have to use an libavcodec-based encoder
as for example mencoder. That´s not really a bad choice since the
MPEG2 quality of mencoder is not bad at all.

All in all this will limit you to the integrated mencoder filters
unless you feed it with AVISynth sources.

Also I´m not shure how big the benefits of the usage of a 64 bit
encoder really are. You would have to use a 64 Bit capable OS
though (AMD64 Linux / x64 Windows-variant)

Edit:
For Ubuntu this could for example mean usage of those files:

plus the also referenced ffmpeg
