How to Update Video Codecs in Atari800Win 4.0? x264?

I was recording an Alternate Reality gameplay video in Atari800Win using the Microsoft RLE codec, which seems to be the only one that works well. However it seems pretty inefficient, the sound eventually was out of sync, and it eventually began to fail or not work at all sometimes. At the point that the video began failing it was at about 1 hour or 4GB. At this point the video began recording over itself in the beginning, as if it ran out of space and started recording over within the same file. I'm assuming the RLE file size limitation is 4GB for some reason (maybe back when the Microsoft RLE codec was written there were no GB sized drives?). It's not a very efficient codec either. I tried to install x264 but Atari800Win didn't seem to recognize it. Is the emulator limited to only the old codecs it has listed? I would appreciate any help on updating the codec to x264. The other videos I made won't even play in Windows Media Player. I'm wondering if moving around the Atari800Win video window while recording could have caused this? Or maybe switching to other applications? On the first video I don't think I moved the window, nor do I think I switched to other programs.

Are there any utilities that repair Microsoft RLE videos so that they will play? I'm interested in any video repair utility that might fix RLE video files. I would like to recover the other gameplay videos I made, as it's impossible to make them again.

But mainly I would like to install x264 in Atari800Win because that would probably solve future problems. Will anyone please tell me how to do this?

Here is the corruption that the RLE codec causes after about 1 hour or 4 GB when it starts encoding over itself. The first part is what all of the beginning of the video that gets recorded over will look like, and the last part is the regular video that did not get recorded over yet (this is the section of video that goes from being screwed up to normal):
