In case you missed out on the hype, this is exactly what the --crf option offers: a constant rate factor, so it uses (almost) the same rate control algorithm as 2pass, but instead of a target bitrate, it uses a target quality, AND it does it in one pass. This seems really a better solution than what you are suggesting.

I'll check that out.. Thanks. I did read many of the posts regarding crf and am going to try it out today.

As to XviD, I don't know if there is such an option, but the question is simple enough: why use XviD when x264 exists?

Hey, I'm slowly transitioning here! Also, I play a lot of my videos on standalone DVD player.

Why read the stats file? Why not just take the size of the output and divide it by the number of frames, and then adjust the units? Anyway, as I said, this exercise seems fruitless.

Well, when I do a first pass, there is no output (I could have used Full Quality First Pass in XVID-but didn't want to waste the time), so I had to read the stats file to get what it would have been, unless of course I'm missing something, which is very possible.
