[FFmpeg-user] how to avoid double encoding

Dear all,

Want to make MPEG-DASH plus HLS plus Fallback mp4 encoding for adaptive bitrate streaming from websites. For playback I use dash.js

All works fine and perfect but I do the encoding twice and with the exact same output.
I didn’t find a way to combine it and do it in one go.
Especially when having set „veryslow“ this is really an issue. My input are usually huge .mov files from FinalCutPro X or from Davinci Resolve

Would be thankful for a hint!
