+    Enable multipass rate control mode. Input is encoded multiple times,
+    storing the encoded information of each pass in a stats file from which
+    the consecutive pass tunes the qp of each frame to improve the quality
+    of the output.Default 0(disabled)

+    1. First pass, cretes stats file
+    2. Last pass, does not overwrite stats file
+    3. Nth pass, overwrites stats file
+
+    **Range of values:** 1 to 3
+
+.. option:: --slow-firstpass, --no-slow-firstpass
+
+    Enable a slow and more detailed first pass encode in Multipass rate control mode.
+    Speed of the first pass encode is slightly lesser and quality midly improved when
+    compared to the default settings in a multipass encode.  Default disabled
