CCE Basic supports only 2 passes, that's one of the reasons (the main reason?) it is cheaper. The "full" CCE (as well as the trials) support up to 9 passes. CCE manual says quality maxes about between 3 and 4 passes, I think.

TMPGEnc is different, its 2 passes are not equivalent to CCE's, i.e. multipass 1 pass VBR in CCE (which is like 2 passes when vaf creation is included) is inferio's to TMPGEnc's 2 passes. So don't compare the 2 different apps from that perspective.
