I use the x264 codec exclusively. When using mencoder, I used the -aspect option after determining the correct value via mplayer. That seemed to work well. But maybe it is not necessary to supply -aspect?

Also- I wanted to mention that I installed the latest handbrake SVN and it seems to encode a lot faster than the current release version, which I think is 0.93. It seems faster than the current release (not SVN) of mencoder, too. I encoded one movie so far with it and everything worked well.
