Club CDFreaks - Knowledge is Power - View Single Post - Question: Two Pass Encoding Worth it With High Bitrates?

anjilslaire · 20-06-2008

I've been using Acidrip in Linux to encode at ~2067 bitrate (Bits/Px is 0.200) usually at 720 x whatever (varies, mostly widescreen formats), with a single pass to Xvid, and the results are usually really good on a standard-def 31" TV. I may have to try 2-pass sometime to see if the extra couple hours is worth it...

As is, my file size is usually between 1.2-1.7gig.
