When rendering a HDV video to the H264 format media-libs/x264-svn-20070924 crashes with error:"x264 [error]: no ratecontrol method specified". Using version media-libs/x264-svn-20061014-r1 gives no crashes/errors. Cinelerra-cvs: media-video/cinelerra-cvs-20080115 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. load hdv video in media-video/cinelerra-cvs-20080115 2. render video to Quicktime for Linux, H.264 3. results in error: x264 [error]: no ratecontrol method specified media-libs/x264-svn has been changed and is now expecting a value for rate control and crashes if none is given (see changelog from x264). Not all programs (like Cinelerra) do provide these options. Although it is actually a bug in cinelerra, the change in x264 makes the system fail. Please make older version of x264 version (20061014-r1) available again and mask current, until main video programs (like cinelerra) are fixed.

Thanks for the report !
