Hi Carl
I am getting confused , the doc says

‘-pass n’

    Select the pass number (1 or 2). It is used to do two-pass video
    encoding. The statistics of the video are recorded in the first pass
    into a log file (see also the option -passlogfile), and in the
    second pass that log file is used to generate the video at the exact
    requested bitrate. On pass 1, you may just deactivate audio and set
    output to null, examples for Windows and Unix:

    	

    ffmpeg -i foo.mov -vcodec libxvid -pass 1 -an -f rawvideo -y NUL
    ffmpeg -i foo.mov -vcodec libxvid -pass 1 -an -f rawvideo -y /dev/null

then is this deactivate audio not any more valid ?
I did it since 3 years (h263) with succes

thanks
Jacky
