Hi everyone 
Google has not been my friend lately..
I was searching around to no avail..searching for the xvid (one used when doing 2-pass encodes in vdub) the one that comes also in the xvid cli command line version. At least that's what I thought--that its the same xvid encoder.
I was getting tired of preparing 2-pass encodes inside vdub and on occasion would crash for no reason on the 2nd pass. And having to resort to re-building the two passes and re-runing the encode inside vdub etc. etc., I was hoping to juse do it via command line (I would incoproate in my tool_suite gui I've been programming here and there) and deal with my encoding scenarios from there on. Anyway, I believe that the "xvid cli.exe" or whatever its name is is the same xvid encoder that vdub uses via the encoder dialog box.
Thank you,

thanks freebird73717. Actually, that's one of the threads I'm currently reading  too long I think, am at page 28 with a strong headacke. Now, I'm too tired. I was just looking for simple cmd line tool to front-end to. I'm begining to think that xvid cli was just a falicy or fantacy/fiction after all. Thanks for the tip.

I know what you mean. I've been there myself from time to time.
I suppose you could always use mencoder but from what I've read it doesn't do as good of a job as encoding from vdub with xvid vfw.
Good luck. I hope you can get something worked out.

yeah, the params from the above snip look a bit scarey to me. I didn't see any actual examples let alone examples for 2-pass encodes (I skimmed over lots of stuff quickly) so maybe I'll look into encraw at a later time.
For now, I may experiment on ffmpeg and libxvid, once I figure out how to do the two pass param setup, hopefully same (param) setup as used in the vdub->xvid way.
I've improved upon my xvid encodes a lot recently, and I want to see how far I can get with archiving certain content for the WD TV and now, including my latest endeavor, Digital Photo Picture Frames, because they also play video: xvid, divx, mpeg1/ 2/ 4, avi, and h264. I noted (elsewhere) that the HP and Sylvania are the best brands to get, they play all the videos w/out problems, and I use mine for mostly reviewing images and other things but now ideas I spiring and I'm branching around. Anyway, thanks for your input.

According to the Mplayer documentation, you can use the xvidvfw.DLL with Mencoder.

VirtualDub includes a command line version, VDUB.EXE in the same folder as the rest of it's files. I don't know if it will do what you want though.

thanks for all your suggestions everyone.
I don't quite like mencoder too much (and haven't encoporated into my tool_suite just because) but I've been playing around with the ffmpeg (that I have in tool_suite) and I prefer it over most everything else on account of its multi-codec support and what-have-you. Anyway.
I've been playing w/ ffmpeg's -vcodec mpeg4 and its params options, but its not like the xvid used in vdub (if the xvid codec I'm refering to is the xvidvfw.dll that El Heggunte referenced) the -vcodec mpeg4[options/params] are not producing the same level of quality that I get w/ vdub's. In mpeg4 there is a lot of pixelations at same -/+ bitrate, but the vdub's xvid way is pixelation-free at the same -/+ bitrate. So, I must be doing something wrong in the mpe4 way or I'm just missing a few of the *same* params that the vdub way uses. I don't know.
But, I'm actually liking the tool_suite way (via -vcodec mpeg4) because of the less preporation work envoled: quick changes are instant for me to restart encoding, for instance. So, I don't want to give that option up. But vdub still puts out much better quality. Plus, I found out (in vdub) I could use the Fast Recompress option for slightly improved quality--I feature I did not know existed during compression setup. So, theres some good and bad egg options, hard to pass up for each. But, I'm stearing closer towards the command line way of things, so ffmpeg is going to be my way if I can figure out how to improve quality of -vcodec mpeg4 (or other xvid library setup) or else find out how to connect to the vdub's xvidvfw.dll library and use the encoding, front-end'wise through coding. I don't know.
If -vcodec mpeg4[options/params] has transparent *same* functions as vdub's way, I would sure like to know what they are so I can continue in this xvid encoding endeavor
If there are any suggestion to the above, I would sure appreciate them, thank you,

I'm leaning toward giving xvid_encraw a go, I just needed a few examples of 2-pass encodes to get me started. After digging around some more (google) I found some more info, plus, google threw-up this topic:
F: http://forum.videohelp.com/topic346161.html,
S: x264 can't handle fast motion no matter what I try -- Feb 2008

-avi "newvideo.avi" |
..and might give that one a few test runs, but before I lean toward the xvid_encraw method, I would like to look into the suggestion, xvidvfw.dll via mplayer, and mencoder.
I've tried the -vcodec xvid and -vcodec mpeg4, even -vcoded libxvid (if you can find the ffmpeg version) and they all seem to produce similar though poor quality..not sure of settings in those yet.

Does anybody know how to get the 2-pass working in xvid_encraw ?
Using the script in my previous post as a "template" but not working.
I've tried many things but still can't it going..the output does not even indicate *any* errors..this is very frustrating.
I've tried setting color space to yv12 (read about this in my searches) and setting -type 2 (avisynth.avs) but all I get is the same initial -h output..thanks.

Perhaps you just needed this version of xvid_encraw:
http://members.optusnet.com.au/squid_80/xvid_encraw.zip
I've just tested it on a short clip, and it worked as it should 
HTH.
