Assembly language programming can speed up execution speeds dramatically.
Yasm is one of the more recent assemblers. It is used for optimizing the
execution of the program based on the capabilities of the CPU.  It is also
the current assembler now used for x264. So you might as well use it.
Basically, disabling the assembler means slower execution speed.


nasm was the previous assembler used for x264. But if you disable the
yasm thingy, then the program thingy will run slower.

You can download the yasm source code and add it to your MinGW distribution.
Most of the Mplayer / MinGW HOWTOs give instructions to compile it like
this:

./configure --prefix=/mingw && make && make install

That will place the yasm program in your MinGW distribution in a place where
mplayer can find it.
