How can I use "fast first pass" with the CLI options?

-A none -m 1 -r 1 --me dia (and no 8x8dct)

Is it really done like that in the VfW now?

No, but that is faster and will be in the next VFW builds too.

How much would quality suffer? What about multiple passes?

Mea culpa. :o

In my defense, that thread is 28 pages long, and the answer is near the end and not easy to spot.

To atone, here's another thread I found that's shorter and seems to be more informative:http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=92991&highlight=x264+Nth+pass
