--pass 3 updates the .log file tough

so the order has to be that way:
--pass 1
--pass 3
--pass 2

audio has no framerate! you dont need to set -fps 29.97 twice, only once for the video
Are you sure? On automated 3 pass it gave it to me in that order, (the 1-2-3 order that makes sense) so I set it up manually because Sharktooth said there was a problem with the "turbo" option on 3-pass etc. etc. So you're saying to me that the third pass should go second, and again output to NUL and only write to (the same) logfile??
