With fast first pass, I have no i8x8, no bframes, etc.
With normal 2 pass, everything is fine.

[edit]
-o NUL is normal, the screen was "normal first pass".

With fast first pass, I have no i8x8, no bframes, etc.
I see no "--bframes" in your 1st pass, and no "--8x8dct" in your 2nd pass commandline.
(--b-pyramid is not strictly necessary in the 1st pass. It doesn't cost much speed, but probably also doesn't affect 2pass prediction noticeably. That said, when/if I fix adaptive B decision to take pyramid into account, it will need to be set on the 1st pass too.)

From the second pass options and dct8x8, what would be the correct first pass settings?

[akupenguin]

the minimum 1st pass options for that 2nd pass are:

x264 -A none -m 1 -r 1 --me dia --filter 3:3 --bframes 3 --qcomp 0.6 --ipratio 1.40 --pbratio 1.30 --bitrate 536 --pass 1 --threads 2

k, thanks!

[Sirber]

the minimum 1st pass options for that 2nd pass are:

x264 -A none -m 1 -r 1 --me dia --filter 3:3 --bframes 3 --qcomp 0.6 --ipratio 1.40 --pbratio 1.30 --bitrate 536 --pass 1 --threads 2
If I add --8x8dct, is it in fast first too?
