  If you have ffenc_h264 on your distro, that means they're using the
system wide ffmpeg, most likely compiled with everything-under-the-sun
support (which includes x264).

  So instead of only having one level of abstraction for using x264
(gstplugin-x264enc <=> x264), you have two (gstffmpeg <=>
libavcodec(ffmpeg) <=> x264). Bad for efficiency.

  Oh, and as you might know.. we don't support gst-ffmpeg built with
system-wide ffmpeg.

  Just use x264enc, please.

   Edward,
