This looks good. I don't know the x264 in detail. Look here
http://help.encoding.com/knowledge-base/article/advanced-configuration-options-for-the-libx264-video-codec/

try different options - especially the once dealing with frames. I wouldn't
skip the audio, but perhaps you have to look for compatible audio encoder.

for me it was an exciting try and fail game until it worked properly
