That comes from my patch; probably it's still buggy. I'll work on that
later, when I have time. Maybe I'll even get mingw set up again and
test it myself. I'm not really familiar enough with this stuff to
write something that works the first time, so you'll have to bear with
me.

Yes; for now, at least, vrc_strategy=1 is ignored for the first pass.
I would have documented that, but I might be able to convince Michael
to make a first-pass xvid rc handle frametype decisions; I don't know
if that's feasable, though, and I wanted to get the rest of it working
smoothely first.
