2nd Pass - Patch??? 1st Pass always equal?

[SirTomahawk]

He guys,
i have read, that the gordian guys are back and will fix the 2nd pass problem (no Log-File-Reading in 2. pass).

How about it? Is there a patch available? I need the "only 2nd pass" feature of the 0.22er because often the calculated Filesize doesn't match and I don't want to do the first pass again and again!

The first pass is everytime the same, isn't it? When I rip a film @ 800K/bit and the final file is 680 Megs big and I want to do a 700 mb - file @ 820 K/bit, can I use the same log file or is it a problem? I have read, that the first pass always do a 6000k/bit codding and stores the compressibility. And so it is not a problem to use it for different second-pass-rips @ differnt bitrates, right?

Please help, T.

You can use the 1st pass as long as you don't change the resolution, resize method, or any additional filters you may have used.

If you're getting that close to the target you should probably just stop or encode the audio at slightly higher quality to fill out the cdr. Another 20 megs is not going to make a significant difference to an entire movie.

@ Ned,
thanks! I know that 20 Megs are not the ultimate Quality-Booster, but just for me its a better feeling. :)
