Done in r21457 for x264.

To use it:

We still use the x264 encoder, but it quickly figures out that there is nothing to compress and returns <1KB compressed data.


Things that differ from a real software / hardware encoder, and things we could do to improve things:


@max: please pass it on for server load testing to see if this makes enough of a difference to the maximum rated user density of your appliances.
