[Libav-user] H264 encoding

I have an application that saves an .avi using the default mpeg4 encoder.
Since my application is GPL, I wanted to add H264 encoding.  I compiled 
libx264 and linked without any problem.
When I try to save with the h264 codec changing the code that works for 
AV_CODEC_ID_MPEG4 (to AV_CODEC_ID_H264), all frames are parsed, however 
only half of the frames are saved in the avi file.  I wonder if this is 
because h264 expects a two pass compression or some other setting is wrong.
I would appreciate it if someone could provide some code of saving in h264.
This is the output of h264 I get:

       [save] Open encoder h264

I tried modifying muxing.c and that works without problems.
Any help or ideas are welcome.
