[x264-devel] Real-time encoding for low resolution

Here's an example that goes 26 FPS (just above realtime) for 720x576
PAL on my C2D T7200 using a 32-bit fprofiled r851 build:

x264 --bframes 3 --b-pyramid --crf 25 --bime --weightb --subme 6 --ref
4 --me umh --8x8dct --no-psnr --no-ssim --threads auto --progress

The primary problems with your settings are --analyze all, which is
basically useless in most cases (p4x4 is generally pointless) and
--b-rdo.
