h264_videotoolbox did the trick

Two differences from libx264

1  -crf was not a recognized option.  I switched it out for an equivalent -v:b 
[bitrate]. All seems fine

2 -pix_fmt yuv420p was also not a recognized option.  Console note says it uses 
mpeg settings. Doesn’t seen to be a significant issue.

Notes aside it’s a big improvement :  h264_videotoolbox in Mac processses at 
about 4X the speed of libx264 

Thanks Ted!
