hmmmmmmmmm how strange.... i've never actually watched the file size along the way, it could be that the first pass is much bigger than the second pass -- there are two ways of doing a 2 pass encode, one does a first pass recording info about the video but nothing else, the other does a first pass basic encode of the video creating a larger intermediate file, and recording information about the video, then does the second pass to encode...

I wouldn't worry too much until it's finished... is it 85% of the first pass perhaps?
