2pass question

[nikopaha]

Hi! First i'm not very good in english but please try understand.

When i encode 2pass. First pass size is like 120mb (no audio)

then how many precent of this i should but target size?

i don't want the 'best' quatily but it should be watchable.

Try a few different options and see what you like, e.g. 60%, 70%, or maybe 80%. You don't have to encode the whole movie to try this out, use a smaller clip that takes less time to encode.

i don't understand what do u want to say?
first pass should be only a few megs for a 2 hour movie without sound and image (just the container)

He's talking about full size 1st pass.
