[x264-devel] 2-pass-encoding gives file of size 0

[Michel Brabants]

Hello,

I'm trying to encode an mjpeg-avi-file to h264. I'm doin 2 passes. The 1ste 
pass seems to be ok, but 2nd pass doesn't seem to run or produce any output. 
Is it possible to have a look at my parameters?

I wrote the following script:

---------------------

#!/bin/sh

width=$2;
height=$3;

#first pass, lower quality to speed up the information-gathering
echo "pass 1 ..."
#widthxheight
echo "x264 -r 1 --stats $1.stats-h264 --progress --pass 1 --bframes 3 -o 
$1-converted-h264.mkv  $1 $width\x$height"
x264 -r 1 --stats $1.stats-h264 --progress --pass 1 --bframes 3 -o 
$1-converted-h264.mkv  $1 $width\x$height

#second pass, high quality
echo "pass 2 ..."
#widthxheight
echo "x264 -r 4 --8x8dct --analyse all --b-pyramid --bframes 3 --qcomp 
0.90 --weightb --subme 5 --stats $1.stats-h264 --progress --pass 2 -o 
$1-converted-h264.mkv $1 $width\x$height"
x264 -r 4 --8x8dct --analyse all --b-pyramid --bframes 3 --qcomp 
0.90 --weightb --subme 5 --stats $1.stats-h264 --progress --pass 2 -o 
$1-converted-h264-2.mkv $1 $width\x$height

--------------------------

The command that I give: lav2yuv  ./DSCF0363.AVI  | ../../tips/x264.sh - 640 
480

The output:

---------------------------

As you can see, the 2nd pass doesn't seem to do anything.

Thank you and greetings,

Michel
