I found that you can do multipass DivX in VirtualDub because it opens the filter once only and then starts requesting again at frame 0 for the second pass.

HCEnc also opens the script twice. It makes no sense to me, even for other reasons such as memory efficiency.
there are multiple reasons. changing that behaviour would mean changing a lot of code and using a single instance would also mean you cant re-use the avs for other tasks.
