yes, two pass encoding should give you much better picture quality for a given bitrate, because it knows how it can "spend" the bitrate - i.e. if it knows that the second half of the movie is very "quiet" visually it can then spend more bits on the first half of the movie.

weird... perhaps the two pass encoding is broken in PDXE... I'm sure I've used it before though.
