The best is to make ekiga work with recent x264 and ffmpeg, but on my 
machine it did not work...  I will retry.

Otherwise, for windows I used FFMPEG_VER := {2009-04-14} and X264_VER := 
d2e1e1c35c43ea9c90c9211be, as shown at 
http://git.gnome.org/browse/ekiga/tree/win32/Makefile?h=gnome-2-26, 
because I thought they are known to work.  Do you want to change this 
with a more recent version which still works?

Conclusion: I do not know what to do.  You previously wrote that h264 
works slowly on linux and crashes on windows, so I would say to better 
wait until a proper fix is found.  What do you think?
