hmm, that's pretty close to what I'm, using:
cpu0: Intel(R) Celeron(R) M CPU 440 @ 1.86GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 1.87
GHz
cpu0:
FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,TM,SBF,SSE3,MWAIT,TM2,xTPR,PDCM
I've transcoded several files to H.264 video with mencoder -ovf x264,
none of which ended up with a 0 sized file.
