I was wondering if this has been thought of, and if there is software to do it?
If a video file has been encoded in 2-pass VBR, lets say a divx file. Why doesnt the software read the bit throughput of this file as a guide to the variation of bitrate for future 2-pass conversions. This surely would elimiaet the need for 2-passes, just 1 quick one reading the file already encoded and then the main pass to do the conversion.
Has this been doen? If so, what software supports it?
If it hasnt, why not? Any developers out there should really look into this.
