  pass=1 means it will encode file to max. quality (for statistics) and will use this statistics in 2nd pass - and only there bitrate parameter will be used,
   if you want only single pass leave out the pass=1 part of xvidopts 

  btw file created with pass=1 may safely go to -o /dev/null (encoding will be a bit faster)
