Have you checked what symbols are in your x264 library as compared with 
those demanded by VC2008.  From what I remember VC2008 doesn't want 
names with a leading underscore whereas, by default, mingw produces them 
with such names.

I've linked 64bit applications against x264 quite happily.  (I'm using 
x264 in a DLL so generated a library.)
