[MEncoder-users] 3-pass encoding with x264

[Olivier Rolland]

Hi,

In 3-pass encoding, should I use
pass=1 for the 1st pass, pass=3 for the 2nd pass and pass=3 for the 3rd pass
or
pass=1 for the 1st pass, pass=3 for the 2nd pass and pass=2 for the 3rd pass ?

The man page of mplayer says that I should use the former but mewiki
(http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings#pass) says that I
should use the later.

Thanks,

Olivier
