Fix various silly errors in the previous patches
Fix fastfirstpass
Apparently the libx264 preset changes made "fastfirstpass" into "fastsecondpass" inadvertantly.
Use short startcode in more possible situations
Previous patch didn't cover all possible uses according to B.1.2.
Remove unused function
Two other minor fixes.
Port Mans Rullgard's NEON intra prediction functions from ffmpeg
Fix one bug, one corner case in VBV
qp_novbv wasn't set correctly for B-frames.
Disable ABR code for frames with zero complexity.
Disable ABR code for CBR mode; it is completely unnecessary and can have negative consequences.
Fix a buffer overread on odd input resolutions
Disable Altivec and VIS optimizations when --disable-asm is specified
Cut size of MVD arrays by a factor of 2 again
Only store the MVDs of the edges of each MB.

Thanks to Michael Niedermayer for the idea.
Fix regression in r1449
Incorrectly placed thread MV check could result in rare thread MV internal errors, esp. with --non-deterministic.
These weren't fatal errors (x264 could recover and continue with slight compression loss).
Fix regression in r1453
r1453 broke psy-trellis with --trellis 2
Fix crash with intra-refresh + aq-mode 0
Fix regression in r1450
I_PCM blocks would cause x264 to crash or generate bad output. Simplify PCM handling.
Ignore XYSCSS in y4m if the newer standard C tag is present

Apparently y4mscaler will generate 4:2:0 files with XYSCSS set to 444
Faster hpel_filter
On ssse3, use pmaddubsw for h filter too (similar to v filter).
Change 32-bit v and c filters to write the result non-temporal.
Add commented-out defines to disable non-temporal operation.
Hardly any black magic here, but still a measurable win especially for ssse3.
Faster cabac_encode_decision_asm
Minimizes instruction count, which also means smaller code.
Various other slight changes to allow more instruction level parallelism.
Faster rounding of chroma DC coefficients
Mixed-refs support for B-frames
Small speed cost, usually a few percent at most. Generally has lowest cost in cases when it isn't very useful. Up to ~2% better compression overall on highly complex sources.

Also fix a few minor bugs in B-frame analysis and various bits of cleanup.
Timecode input/output
--tcfile-in allows a user to specify a timecode v1 or v2 file to override input timestamps.
Useful for dealing with VFR input, especially when FFMS/LAVF support isn't available.
--tcfile-out writes a timecode v2 file containing the timecodes of the output file.
New --timebase option allows a user to change the stream timebase.
Intended primarily for forcing timebase with timecode files if necessary.
When using --seek, note that x264 will seek in the timecode file as well.
Blu-ray support: NAL-HRD, VFR ratecontrol, filler, pulldown
x264 can now generate Blu-ray-compliant streams for authoring Blu-ray Discs!
Compliance tested using Sony BD-ROM Verifier 1.21.
Thanks to The Criterion Collection for sponsoring compliance testing!

An example command, using constant quality mode, for 1080p24 content:
x264 --crf 16 --preset veryslow --tune film --weightp 0 --bframes 3 --nal-hrd vbr --vbv-maxrate 40000 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --level 4.1 --keyint 24 --b-pyramid strict --slices 4 --aud --colorprim "bt709" --transfer "bt709" --colormatrix "bt709" --sar 1:1 <input> -o <output>

This command is much more complicated than usual due to the very complicated restrictions the Blu-ray spec has.
Most options after "tune" are required by the spec.
--weightp 0 is not, but there are known bugged Blu-ray player chipsets (Mediatek, notably) that will decode video with --weightp 1 or 2 incorrectly.
Furthermore, note the Blu-ray spec has very strict limitations on allowed resolution/fps combinations.
Examples include 1080p @ 24000/1001fps (NTSC FILM) and 720p @ 60000/1001fps.

Detailed features introduced in this patch:

Full NAL-HRD compliance, with both VBR (no filler) and CBR (filler) modes.
Can be enabled with --nal-hrd vbr/cbr.
libx264 now returns HRD timing information to the caller in the form of an x264_hrd_t.
x264cli doesn't currently use it, but this information is critical for compliant TS muxing.

Full VFR ratecontrol support: VBV, 1-pass ABR, and 2-pass modes.
This means that, even without knowing the average framerate, x264 can achieve a correct bitrate in target bitrate modes.
Note that this changes the statsfile format; first pass encodes make before this patch will have to be re-run.

Pulldown support: libx264 allows the calling application to specify a pulldown mode for each frame.
This is similar to the way that RFFs (Repeat Field Flags) work in MPEG-2.
Note that libx264 does not modify timestamps: it assumes the calling application has set timestamps correctly for pulldown!
x264cli contains an example implementation of caller-side pulldown code.

Pic_struct support: necessary for pulldown and allows interlaced signalling.
Also signal TFF vs BFF with delta_poc_bottom: should significantly improve interlaced compression.
--tff and --bff should be preferred to the old --interlaced in order to tell x264 what field order to use.

Huge thanks to Alex Giladi and Lamont Alston for their work on code that eventually became part of this patch.
