Really? What happened?
You've got a point when it comes to speed: With a target bitrate of 25 MBit/s the first pass ran through at 18 FPS, the second one at 6 FPS on my i7-6700K/16 GB RAM-machine. That's still OK for short stuff like I've been playing with (up to 10 minutes runtime), but it may be horrible for a full feature. But I also have to add that I did the sizing with AviSynth, so the FrameServer had to export the full resolution. I read that the resizing-engines of AviSynth are much better than the ones in Premiere, so maybe that affected encoding-times as well.

I believe it was dropped or corrupt frames, been awhile but something made me stay clear of frameserver. I so wanted it to work out too but to be safe i went back to encoding AVIs and then x264 script encoding. I would rather there be an option in this plugin to use our own script and bypass most of the other options.

I'm not seeing a 2 pass either which is not a good thing for what we want. We need to ask for feature requests from the developer and he seems to be open to suggestions. Go to this site https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/3853...ost2518830 and let him know what you think and what you would like to see. The more people who ask the better the chance we get it.

Just put a request for 2 pass encoding to be added.

Thanks X5gb, that's the feature I noticed that was missing also. Been trying some test myself and looks good so far but need 2 pass before I can drawn any conclusions.

Strangely the parameters box should let you manually put that in (pass=2) but it appears it's read only and anything put in there is wiped out.

Yea, tried adding it as well.

2 pass also needs access to a stats file written by the 1st pass. Just out of curiosity is there a CRF mode?

Yes there is. It's the usual suspects: ARB, CRF, CQP and Lossless

That's good to know, with a little (sometimes a lot of) trial and error you can get a CRF encode to hit a target filesize.

Vouk just replied with good news:

"Oh, yes. I disabled this back in the days.
Yeah, i will try to get it enabled again. Its useful for BD authoring."

Hoping it gets enabled soon.
