2-pass encode

[kiwisrgreen]

So I did the avisynth script and I encoded it to lossless lagarith and now I'm doing 2-pass encode using xvid (no audio, attaching it later with avi mux) but anyways how do you decide what the size of the file for the second pass. I read somewhere 70% of the first-pass

size depend on quality, remember.

70% could be small or could be too much.

Try encode a small sample to constant quant 2, and look at file size. Do some proportions... and here is your final size to achive
