Dear all,
i'm using VirtualDub 1.9.11 X32 with Xvid 1.3.2, i have problem with 2 pass encoding, i use this step

1) load original video
2) setting in xvid Encoding type: Twopass - 1st pass
3) Queue batch operator > Save as AVI > Filename 1st pass.avi
4) setting in xvid Encoding type: Twopass - 2nd pass with bitrate 1200
5) Queue batch operator > Save as AVI > Filename 2st pass.avi

Now i launch job control and start, i see the 2 encoding pass and i correctly obtain 2nd pass video file that works good but is really big, if i use mediainfo to show i read: MPEG-4 Visual (XviD) - Video track: 5600kbps <<<<< what is this ?!?!? in effect file is really big, that is correct for this bitrate but not for the one that i want, what is my error/problem ?

If you're going for a target bitrate, there's no need to do 2-pass encoding.

You may be using a version of Xvid that's not compatible with VirtualDub (It requires a VfW build).

Doesn't selecting a target bitrate and running a single pass encode the video differently to when you run 2 passes? VBV control doesn't work in single pass mode so if you want to guarantee hardware player compatibility you have to run 2 passes.

Could be; I'm unfamiliar with SAP compatibility.
