OK, I'm a total cretin. Checking what version og the x264 lib I had, I realized I actually had 2 installed : the most recent 60 and one year-old 47. After uninstalling both and reinstalling the 60, transcode new module works perfectly and the image quality is perfect! I don't have your "rate abort" message, which is weird, though. I also had the x264_2pass.log issue using export_ffmpeg but thought it was not a big deal, so I did not talk about it... At least the two-pass libavc issue is real, otherwise I would have bothered you for nothing.
