CCE only doing 1 pass when I configured it to do 2?

[subferno]

I haven't used DVDRB in over 6 months and so I don't know if anything has changed since then.

I configured CCE to do two passes but when DVDRB starts rebuilding, I only see it doing one pass. None of my settings has changed since the last time I used it, besides updating DVDRB.

I have to crank the pass in CCE to 3 before it will do 2 passes. Don't know why.

3 passes in DVD RB is what CCE calls 2 passes (1 .vaf pass and 2 encode passes) eclPasses=3

So 2 passes in DVD-RB is what CCE calls 1 pass (1 .vaf and 1 encode pass) ... just like every other encoder

[subferno]

Hmm, interesting. I remember I had it set at 2 in DVDRB for years and CCE did 2 passes for me. Weird.

If you set it to 2 in DVD-RB it should do 2. The disparity between 2 and 3 is related to the contents of the ECL file. In CCE SP and SP2 a "two pass" encode is the same as a "three pass" in any other encoder. In CCE Basic, it is more like other encoders. I just made it act more standard with SP/SP2.
