x265 undershooting 500 Kbps encode by almost 100 Kbps in 2-pass encode
I encoded a scene from Tears of Steel 1080p mov source with the following settings

You're actually only encoding a 1st pass . You can verify with mediainfo and it will say stats-read=0 ; but it's supposed to say stats-read=2 , because in the 2nd or more passes it should be reading the stats file
Another clue is the cutree and log file isn't written, only the ffmpeg2pass-0.log , which is blank You need to add pass=1, pass=2 for x265-params , and I would also explicitly specify the log to read and write In windows it looks like this Code:
ffmpeg -i scene1.mp4 -c:v libx265 -an -b:v 500k -filter:v scale=720:-1 -preset veryslow -pass 1 -x265-params "no-strong-intra-smoothing=1:no-sao=1:deblock=-2\:-2:pass=1:stats='mylog.log'" -f mp4 -y NUL && ^ ffmpeg -i scene1.mp4 -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:v libx265 -an -b:v 500k -filter:v scale=720:-1 -pass 2 -hide_banner -preset veryslow -x265-params "no-strong-intra-smoothing=1:no-sao=1:deblock=-2\:-2:pass=2:stats='mylog.log'" x265_500k_2pass.mp4 I'll check x265cli later to see if there is any difference, if there is, I'll report back (maybe libx265 issue) Also it might be a source timebase issue (12288 tbn ?) But it might also be too short of a segment to accurately hit bitrate targets |

The doc explicitly mentions it.
