Its been my experience that "one pass" doesn't save alot of time, if you still keep the high or highest quality settings, at least for the movies I've been doing to BD-9 (as movie only). Try a movie at the "Good" or "Better" quality setting. You might be pleasantly surprised at how good it looks. I'd actually skip on the single pass, because of some problems with the undersizing of the final output.

This is really an excercise about the brute speed of your PC. The more powerful the CPU, the faster things go. A Q9550 CPU does a movie on the "High Quality" setting in 4-6 hrs, on average. Some movies take alot longer, but most fall into that range.

If you select high-quality encoding and one-pass you'll probably save 2-3 hours of encoding time on a movie-only encode. Since I run my discs overnight most of the time, it really doesn't save anything -- the computer just sits waiting for me for about two fewer hours.

But the one-pass and high-speed option sure makes testing a lot faster... since the quality of the output isn't important for a test.
