Very nice encoder as long as it actually works. Faster than the h264 included in imovie 09 and smaller files. For some reason I had no problems using it in the beginning of june with version 1.2.12 (or something), but now it crashes in a reproducable way every time I use it in imovie 09. I have tried to upgrade to 1.2.13 but the problem persist.

If I open imovie, choose Export with Quicktime and then click settings, the whole system either freezes or imovie crashes. If on the other hand I encode a movie with h264 first and afterwards change the encoder to x264, I can access the settings, make the changes I want and export the movie. Then I can use the x264 codec without any problems as long as I don't try to open up settings - if I do I have to go through the whole process again.

I don't have any skills whatsoever with programming so I don't really have any suggestions to what might be wrong, other than that it seems to have something to do with the settings window. Might be some incompatibility with other programs I have installed. Anybody else have experienced the same?
