I believe this should be a viable routine for two-pass encoding using libx264, but it fails, as shown. A similar command to encode the same video source file using libx265 with Matroska output is successful, so I don’t think the source file is the culprit. Both the x264 and x265 encoding report 1475 frames encoded. Please help. Thanks.
