2 pass encode : rc=abr

[ptidav]

Hello,
when i make a 2 passe encode (option specific filesize/bitrate 2 pass), why there is rc=abr instead rc=2pass in the mediainfo ??
Thanks

What encoder are you using?
In case it's x264 or x265 you need to complain to the developers of the encoder you used.
Hybrid does everything properly and uses:

--pass 1 --bitrate XX

for the first pass and

--pass 2 --bitrate XX

for the second pass.

X265

X265

Then the only way to get this changed would be to contact the x265 developers.

With x264 you should get rc=2pass in mediainfo.
