I used VirtualDub, although the guide that was posted earlier used command line settings. Sorry I assumed the codec came with default settings.
Unfortunately I was unable to get MeGui working with command line settings, and I tried using the command line provided with x264 codec but I got some errors, so that is why I ended up using VD with x264 at least. However, I will write out what everything was:

Sorry, I should really invest some extra time in getting command line working. I was very frustrated that I couldn't get that done
