Why is there only the 2nd pass commandline for x264 and the 1st pass one for xvid?

To vastly improve the compressibility of your HD DV clip, you can add "-vf pp=ha:c/va:c/dr/fd" which means deblocking+deringing+deinterlacing(simple). Also, since homemade DV footages are usually rather unstable and noisy, try omitting "qpel" and "gmc" for xvid. But then, if your footage is really 1280x720@29.97fps, 1500kbps is never sufficient.

For x264 encoding, you'd better use x264.exe.
