A non-scientific side by side comparison between Cinelerra (x264) and Apple Quicktime H.264 compression using settings that produced about the same bitrate and file size. Quicktime to the left.
You need Quicktime 7 to play this movie. Update, VLC opens the file in two windows.
Sounds from ZynAddSubFX, first attempt to create a patch.

Looks like Cinelerra on the right has richer and better colors than Quicktime on the left but difficult to say which produced the closest results to the original since there is no original to show.
PS you might want to switch the title in the movie to quicktime vs cinelerra since the quicktime video is on the left to keep it organized.
