I have downloaded CX2DVD v3.7.3 to try out conversion in comparison to FAVC and DVD Flick (I don't care about menus). When I started the conversion process the status bar showed a message saying: encoding pass 1 of 1. As far as I'm concerned some time ago VSO implemented 2-pass processing. Yet, I haven't found the place where I can activate that.
Can anybody help?

If you want to try for a better encode try MrC's AVStoDVD (free), locking in HCenc 2 pass encoding. -
two pass is only good for high quality input files....if you have a DV source, then two pass has a major impact on quality. VSO's program was originally for downloaded movies...in this case, quality is already poor so two pass is a waste of time. But if you do not want to author yourself and want a quick job, then this program could be for you. So Two pass is NOT a waste of time, but is a good extension of the program to the home user who does not want to author themselves. Again, two pass is a waste of time for poor sources...but NOT for good ones. Let's get this clear here.
