theora - Aug 2009 - theora Digest, Vol 63, Issue 10

thanks for the link could you please tell me how to put together two pass
encoding for windows.

using the new build. I'm afraid the 2 pass encoding command I used on the
earlier version didn't work on the new build it says something about bit
rate. so I'm looking for samples for new commandline Thusnelda version
with new options explained.

thank you

The command you gave to the earlier version did not do two-pass
because the earlier version did not have two-pass.

ffmpeg2theora  --two-pass -V 1234 inputfile.avi

Where 1234 is your intended average video bitrate in kbit/sec is a
normal command-line for two-pass encoding. The file inputfile.ogv will
be the output.


Two-pass can also be done using two distinct steps with --first-pass
and --second-pass, but you shouldn't need to do that if you're simply
transcoding from a file.
