21 The name comes from the fact that this method encodes the file <emphasis>twice</emphasis>. | |
22 The first encoding (dubbed pass) creates some temporary files | |
23 (<filename>*.log</filename>) with a size of few megabytes, do not delete | |
24 them yet (you can delete the AVI). In the second pass, the 2-pass output | |
25 file is created, using the bitrate data from the temporary files. The | |
26 resulting file will have much better image quality. If this is the first | |
27 time you heard about this, you should consult some guides available on the | |

365 packaged in a single <filename>.rar</filename> archive. | |
366 <application>MPlayer</application> can play these with the | |
