I have successfully completed by first encode using X264CLI and the following batch file command line in Windows XP:

"C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\x264 CLI Revision 286\x264.exe" -q 30 --bitrate 650 -I 250 -i 25 --bframes 0 --no-b-adapt -r 5 -w --analyse all --subme 6 --no-psnr --progress --fps 29.970 -o "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\raw.264" "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\AV.AVS" 640x480

I then muxed the resulting raw H264 file with an M4A audio file using YAMB and the result plays fine. However, I generated the command line by modifying part of a batch file posted by Zak Kingston and do not understand all of the parameters. Where can I find instructions on how to generate the command line? I looked on X264.org and searched on Doom9 with no luck. I would like to do a 2 pass encode.

type x264.exe on the commandline. Or better, use MeGUI.. it also does the audio encoding for you and the muxing, so you have a nice GUI for everything instead of fighting your way through the commandline options.
