I'm new to xvid-users mailing-list, so please forgive me if this question has already been answered ( I've tried to search in the archive, without success ). I'm trying to encode an MP4 file with ffmpeg in 2-pass using XviD and I'm getting an oversized resulting file. Here are the 2 command lines I'm using : ffmpeg -i input_file.avi -vcodec xvid -b 1000 -g 125 -pass 1 -passlogfile log_file output_file.mp4 ffmpeg -i input_file.avi -vcodec xvid -b 1000 -g 125 -pass 2 -passlogfile log_file output_file.mp4 The log file is well produced and seems to be valid, but the resulting "output_file.mp4" has an average bitrate of 3655 kbps ( instead of 1000 kbps ) !!?? When I try the same process with internal libavcodec's implementation ( just replacing "-vcodec xvid" by "-vcodec mpeg4" ), the encoded file then has an average bitrate of 1005 kbps as expected. BTW, when I'm encoding in 1 pass only with XviD, I don't have this rate control issue anymore. The following command line produces a resulting file with an average bitrate of 1018 kbps : ffmpeg -i input_file.avi -vcodec xvid -b 1000 -g 125 output_file.mp4 I've read something about the quant 2-31 issue in Doom9's forum and I tried to set qmin to 1 in the command line, but it didn't help : ffmpeg -i input_file.avi -vcodec xvid -b 1000 -g 125 -qmin 1 -qmax 31 -pass 1 -passlogfile log_file output_file.mp4 ffmpeg -i input_file.avi -vcodec xvid -b 1000 -g 125 -qmin 1 -qmax 31 -pass 2 -passlogfile log_file output_file.mp4 Would somebody know how to solve this issue ? BTW, which other tools than ffmpeg are able to encode video with XviD, encode audio in AAC-LC and mux these tracks into MP4 file format in a single command line ( mencoder, VLC, etc. ) ??? Thanks for your help. Olivier
