Update of the x264 encoding guide:
- Reorganized things, options are now divided into "speed vs quality" and "other" (more or less). subq is now where it belongs. - subq=6 is documented - explanation of what 2-pass really does, and why you'd better use it - mention 3-pass (and the fact that it usually doesn't help) - documented qcomp - documented keyint (not like it needed any more explanation, though) - deblocking parameter tweaking no longer categorized as options that "affect speed and quality ;) - updated example cpu requirements for decoding, in codecs.xml (720x480 @ 1500kbps 50%->35%, for my CPU) git-svn-id: svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk@15916 b3059339-0415-0410-9bf9-f77b7e298cf2

The gains from using H.264 do not come for free: Decoding H.264
streams seems to have steep CPU and memory requirements.
- For instance, on a 1733 MHz Athlon, a 1500kbps H.264 video uses
- around 50% CPU to decode.
- By comparison, decoding a 1500kbps MPEG-4 ASP stream requires
- around 10% CPU.
+ For instance, on a 1733 MHz Athlon, a DVD-resolution 1500kbps H.264
+ video requires around 35% CPU to decode.

This means that decoding high-definition streams is almost out of
the question for most users.
It also means that even a decent DVD rip may sometimes stutter on
