I'm using DVD Studio 3.5 build 7 and DivX 6. My question is, what is the proper way to do 2-pass encoding? If I check the "Use 2-pass encoding" under Options > Output Setting, it encodes twice. However, how should I set the DivX encoder? Should I leave it at 1-pass? If left at 1-pass, is it basically just encoding it in 1-pass TWICE? From what I've read, 2-pass requires the user to manually start the 2nd pass. What is the proper way to do 2-pass encoding?

2 pass encoding should be a setting in the program, and the it should do the encoding automatically. It will take longer to encode than 1-pass.
