[FFmpeg-user] nvenc 2pass

[JUGGALO BEAVIS]

Thank you.
nvenc codec seems to have it's own -2pass parameter, with possible values being -1,0,1 (default -1)
Would this be the proper way to combine the nvenc's -2pass parameter with ffmpeg's -pass parameter ?
ffmpeg -i INPUT.mp4 -c:v nvenc -preset hq -profile:v main -an -b:v 500000 -cbr 1 -pass 1 -2pass 1 -y OUTPUT.mp4
ffmpeg -i INPUT.mp4 -c:v nvenc -preset hq -profile:v main -c:a aac -strict experimental -b:v 500000 -b:a 128k -cbr 1 -pass 2 -2pass 1 -y OUTPUT.mp4
My biggest concern is the value of -2pass parameter in each command.

ffmpeg does not iterate over a video itself. You need to call ffmpeg
twice, with "-pass 1" and "-pass 2".
