Oh, I always thought both passes should always use *exactly* the same cmdline options. Does that mean it was my error to give vb_strategy=1 for the second pass, too? That'd be an evil trap. ;-) I hope mplayer overwrites that automatically in the future. (Again, I am at work and can't check that right now.)
Well, it's not your error snce it was never documented. Hopefully we can improve this better by automatically disabling it during the second pass or something, but at the very least it needs to be documented as a pass1-only option.
This is the current text: vb_strategy=<0-1> strategy to choose between I/P/B-frames (pass 1): 0 Always use the maximum number of B-frames (default). 1 Avoid B-frames in high motion scenes. Am I correct in understanding that this option is for pass 1 _only_ and that MEncoder will reject it in subsequent passes? Diego
