Jim Geduldick (@FILMBOT) has an new x264 Encoder Tutorial for as an alternative to the QuickTime codec for producing H.264 files on the Mac (embedded below).
This video tutorial is on Already Been Done, a skateboarding resource. As usual, there's are other tutorials, for example one by Satya Meka, Quick Tip – Better Compression With X264. And there were tips and utilities before that, some found in More on Quicktime’s H.264 gamma bug at AE Portal.

Tried using it to convert a 1080 Proress master to x264. It came out looking terrible at times. It screwed up the colors so some shots that looked soloarized. Had to use MPEG Streamclip since Adobe Media Encoder CS5 didnt even see it after installation in the QT Library folder. No thanks on this one, H,264 works just fine for me ;-)
x264 is by far the best way to make a h264 compressed movie, but if you don't want any actual control, and you don't care about Apple randomly and incorrectly changing your gamma and colorspace, then by all means use their standard consumer encoder.
Also, you won't have that problem with Adobe Media Encoder if you don't use QT.
