x264 - Should my 1-pass command line match the 2-pass command line?

[shlap]

I hope the subject makes sense. I'm trying to figure out if I'm supposed to be passing the same parameters in both the Pass-1 command line and the Pass-2 command line when I'm doing 2-pass encoding.

There are several settings you can "lower" in the first pass for speed-up with none (or negligible) effect on the final result...

Only --bframes, --keyint, --min-keyint, and --b-pyramid need to be the same.
