Hi, I have found that when doing a two pass encode if I remove various options from the first pass I get a massive speed increase. The options I do not provide the first pass are croping/bordering (-j), filters (-J), zoom (-Z) and gamma (-G).
I am curious as to the impact on the second pass of the encode. Will it have a small impact (which I presume), a large impact making the first pass somewhat worthless or will it have a negative effect making the video worse? Regards, Jeff.
