Thank you! That seems to work well. The .bat file explanation was important. I had been using ffmpeg by pasting the parameters into the command line and couldn't figure out how to do that with 2 passes.

Some remaining questions:

The output bitrate was 4195 for my test clip, which is below the 4250 that I specified. Is such a difference normal? Less is OK, but I wouldn't want it to go over the DVD size.

Does the location of the passlog file matter? Can it be in a separate location from the source/output/ffmpeg ?

Is it possible to use the other method (pasting the parameter into the command line) with 2-pass encoding?
