Can I use intermediate database file for another coding

[Slavko_11]

Can I use intermediate database file from the latest job in HCEnc to next coding ?. I want to encode with only different bitrate. My source AVS script will the same. What can I do ? (sorry my bad english)

No, you can't use it again, you'll have to start it all over.

can you make it so it is stored? That way an encode can be faster if you made a mistale in the settings...is this hard to do?

The first-pass information is specific to that bitrate and those settings. They will be meaningless or "less meaningful" if you change bitrate and/or settings.

Right. Forgot. But it is useful if you need to change chapter points. No biggee though
