So far, the same results for me. I did Alpha Dog, first with SSPAULS' settings and found the video froze at 1:46:15 while the audio continued. (Full length is approx 1:57). Tried a second time using with my default settings except I maintained the 2 pass setting. The video playback freezes at exactly 1:46:15.
This 2 pass thing takes forever...

Ran it yet a 3rd time with my default settings...perfect playback.

Personally, I don't see any difference in quality between 1 and 2 pass modes when viewed on a 19" samsumg monitor.
Generally, I watch the flicks on my Ipod when travelling....not that often.
I have connected to a 32" flat screen TV and it looks just fine. It's certainly not as crisp as a dvd to dvd bkup, but I wouldn't expect this.

@str8red,
I can't imagine my settings on a 50" screen for everyday viewing. and I'm certain you don't want to...
What are your other settings?...bitrate?
What's the resultant file size?
