    I am trying avstodvd 2.0 final. I go to the options then encoder tab. No matter what encoder I choose it uses Quenc 1 pass. I want Hcenc 2 pass. I selected to option use hcenc 2 pass as default but no dice, still uses quenc 1 pass?

  2. AVStoDVD, as explained in the Help section (press F1), decides from its own which video encoding profile is better, looking at output video bitrate:

    up to 4500 kbps -> HCenc VBR 2-pass
    from 4500 to 6000 kbps -> HCenc OPV 1-pass
    above 6000 kbps -> QuEnc CBR 1-pass

    In the 'Settings'/'Encoding' tab you can customize those bitrate ranges, NOT select one them as default profile.

    If you want to override default AVStoDVD profile selection, you have to:
    - load your file
    - press the 'Edit Title' button (on the right)
    - go to 'Video' tab
    - toggle off 'Auto Video Setup'
    - select your favourite 'Video Encoding Profile'

    Btw, if projected video bitrate is over 8000 kbps, I strongly suggest you to use QuEnc. HCenc is a very good choich when dealing with low bitrates, but with high bitrate QuEnc is faster and good enogh.
