hi guys when i do a 2 pass encode with Koepi's XviD Codec 1.0 RC4 Build 05042004 the second pass takes much longer is this normal or do i have a option set wrong System Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 Intel Pentium IV @ 2604.62 MHz Intel(R) 512mb Corsair TwinX 3200LLPT MSI NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900XT Adaptec 39160 Controller Seagate Cheetah 10k6 SCSI HDDs Settings used AS @ L5 Motion Search Precision 6 ultra high VHQ Mode 1 Mode Decision Use Chroma Motion First Pass 27 mins Second Pass 57 mins Thanks in advance guys

Hi, what do you mean by 'normal'? If you mean 'compared to second pass in RC3' this would be interesting. If you mean 'compared to first pass' then you've actually just discovered that first pass is faster than second pass (has been introduced some time ago, don't remember when exactly - it's called 'fast first pass'), not vice versa. So it's more like '1st pass is faster than normal'. ;)

@ps2uk still the time difference looks too big since you didn't use any settings such as QPEL or GMC. You may wanna try the first pass again with 'Full quality first pass' checked and see if it's around 57 minutes too...

Huh. Anyone have a mirror for the new binary? Nic's site scripts are preventing me from downloading the installer. I'm using Mozilla Firefox so it shouldn't be a problem. I'm also behind a Wireless Router using NAT. Have turned its simple firewall protection off and tested.. no go. Anyone have a suggestion around the overzealous script? EDIT: Nevermind. Just ssh'd to my shell account and used Lynx to download it there. Pretty silly that I'd have to do that but oh well!
