But you need it in order to hit a target bitrate easily. IMHO that's what (variable bitrate) n-pass encoding is mainly about. It's not really trivial to find the setting needed for mpeg2enc to produce a file that fits nicely on a CD/DVD. So it would be a big step forward to have 2-pass encoding IMHO. regards Markus ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
