Video Problems - Saucy

[Andre Rodovalho]

Today I made some encondings, and look what I found on my 13.04 x64...

HD video, 1280x720:
1 - ffh264 + ffaac - 64,1MB
2 - ffodivx + ffmp3float - 335,5MB

Files generated differ 423,4%.

Playing on mplayer CPU usage (avarage):
1 - 27% on a Intel T7200
2 - 19,5% on a Intel T7200
