[MEncoder-users] use of divx2pass.log

[Uzu Maki]

when encoding with xvid i get a "divx2pass.log" file after 1rst pass.

sometimes I re-encode with another video bitrate...

my question is: can I keep this file and use it again to skip to 2nd
pass directly?
even though I changed the bitrate?

or must I redo the 1rst pass and delete this file made during the 1rst
try/encoding?

thx a lot for all your help!
