It seems that I'm missing something here!
But isn't the method you are explaining exactly the same D2SRoba is doing in its auto-mode? (with conditional sizing pass on and no limits set)
plz don't take offence at that but I think someone who is going for multipass is primarily interested in size!(And of course getting the best quality the given size allows by doing multiple passes) For sure you can say: "Then they don't know the (numerical) "quality" of the encode" which is absolutely right. however, a "multipasser" will more or less know how many cd's he must apply to get a satisfying result!

nevertheless, i have to say, this method allows a lot of flexibility in the end, especially when you go for low-bitrate-encodes or 3-4 movies per dvd! On the other hand, D2SRoba/DVD2SVCD is such a powerful combination which can do all this automatically so i think i will stick to that! (when using cce, since i am going to have a look at mencoder/ffvfw)
