number of passes for encoding

[skyclad]

great and easy program to use!! and fast btw...
is there any option to encode in 1 pass rather than 2 pass?

Hi, and welcome to the forum-

AutoGK you're talking about? Then, yes, Quality Mode works in one-pass. BUT, you'll have no control over the final file size. If you're filling CDs, then 2-pass is better. If you don't care about the final file size, then give Quality encoding a try.

yes i was talkign about autogk...
well the problem is that i want a specific file size (1/4 or 1/2 of a cd) so i guess i-pass is out of the question then...

doesnt AutoGK create a avs-file?

so wouldnt it be possible to open that avs-file in VDub and then do the 1-pass manually?
