Sizing pass was skipped?

I been trying to figure out why D2SRoBa v3.80 keeps skipping the sizing pass.

Try unchecking the box "Sizing pass is conditional".
By the way CCE is encoding at Q1 wich means the quality is 'maxed out'

An PINOBIRD said, Q=1 is the maximum quality allowed by CCE. and only 67.8% of target is used. So do not expect any quality improvement in two passes...

With a Q=1 and undersized, if it did do a VBR re-size pass, the size comes out identical, nothing would be gained. Older versions of D2SRoBa did do this unnecessary VBR pass.

Okay, thanks guys..just learning this program.
