mencoder: encoding options for 1st pass
Hi,
When I encode my movies with mencoder and libavcodec/mpeg4, I use the same options for the first pass as I do for the second (except vor the vpass option, of course.) Here's what I typically use: vbitrate=X vhq v4mv precmp=3 cmp=3 subcmp=3 vb_qfactor=1.25 vb_qoffset=0.6 vmax_b_frames=1 qpel trell Encoding is a rather lengthy process with these options. Can someone tell me which options are actually necessary on 1st pass? It's just taking so damn long. Cheers, Fogger |

All these options have an effect on what info is written down to "divx2pass.log". Therefore it is propably good to use all these options in both passes.
