But the quality will be the same as the first pass.

When you say --bitrate (obtaind from the first pass), is there anyway to get this automatically? If not, then this method beats the purpose of an overnight 2-pass encode. If I have to wait for the result of a full single CRF pass anyway, then I might as well use the bitrate in a full additional 2-pass overnight encode.
