VdubMPEG2: Statsfile problem

[jwfc]

Hi. I searched the forums about the "Statsfile not found... error code -1" problem and the majority says that I need to select

Two pass - first pass
save
Two pass - second pass
save

for Xvid. I'm having some problems with this or maybe I do not understand it fully. I selected

AS@L5,
Two pass - first pass
Inside that quantizer matrix (which I honestly do not know what it does and don't even know when it showed up there since I do not recognize it), selected "0 - W 1.00 - K"
clicked OK.
The only filters I am using is null transform to crop and a resize filter.

I clicked save as avi, named it, "name.avi"

Then after VdubMPG2 was done, I selected
Two pass - second pass
I tried to save it. Now do I save it with the same file name, replacing the old one, or a new file name which is the file I want in the end? I tried both ways and both times I get the "Statsfile not found... error code - 1" error. Any advice? Thanks as always!

After selecting 2 pass - first pass, click the More button next to it:




Set the Stats filename to .\video.pass



OK your way out.

All should now be well.
