    I was wondering why it is that I'm getting a Black or Green screen when i encode my videos with the Multi-Pass 1st pass for DivX, or the Two-Pass for XVID. Can someone please help me out? Try to help me correct the problem? I have my latest video card driver which is ATI Catalyst 6.4 for Radeon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  2. Because during the first pass the codec is only looking at the video to see what parts need more/less bitrate. It's only during the second pass that it actually saves the data.

    Xvid has a setting which will save the compressed video from the first pass. Set the codec up for 2-pass, first pass. Then press the more... button next to the encode type pulldown. Deselect Discard First Pass. I think the first pass is done in constant quantizer with a target quantizer of 2. It will be pretty big but very good quality. And will have no relationship to the quality of of the second pass.
