I have encoded a 1080i broadcast using the following filters: pp=ci,crop=1904:1072:10:0,hqdn3d=4:3:6,softskip,scale=952:536:0:0:0.00:0.60,harddup with bitrate set to 3000. On a 20 seconds long sample the one pass encoding produced a file with 8703945 bytes and quality: x264 [info]: SSIM Mean Y:0.9805128 x264 [info]: PSNR Mean Y:44.861 U:48.798 V:49.399 Avg:45.849 Global:45.537 kb/s:3259.63 The two pass encoding (same filter and x264enc options) produced a file with 9437678 bytes. x264 [info]: SSIM Mean Y:0.9803121 x264 [info]: PSNR Mean Y:44.632 U:48.669 V:49.280 Avg:45.642 Global:45.489 kb/s:3068.16 So it would seem from this experiment that the one pass encoding produced a smaller file with the same or better quality. (Visual inspection cannot tell them apart.) Am I doing something wrong? This is not what one would expect, right? Should I rerun this with other samples? The current one had a lot of fast moving actions. Matyas - Every hardware eventually breaks.
