Under Windoze I do not think you can. I have the cygwin tools installed and start my encoding via the Zshell. One is able to Ctrl-Z (stop) the script, but I do not think that the x264 executable will accept the stop. It should under Unix/Linux, but this isn't Unix/Linux, even with the cygwin tools. Windoze architecture must still be honored.
I just tried it with a 2nd pass of the x264 encoder. The script I use to do all of my encodings indeed was suspended (stopped), but the x264 encoder kept right on ticking.
