Hi,

Yes you have to use the -V  switch, and you can also use the -v switch to
specify a minimum quality at the same time.
Encoding the sound in the firstpass is useless from what I experienced with
encoder_example.

I use the following:
./encoder_example --soft-target -v 7 -V 3397 --two-pass --first-pass
"$VIDEO".pass stream.yuv -o "$VIDEO".ogv
./encoder_example --soft-target -v 7 -V 3397 --two-pass --second-pass
"$VIDEO".pass -a -1 stream.wav stream.yuv -o "$VIDEO".ogv
