Argh. You are right. A little nasty hack takes care of that=)

i=1
for j in /dev/null filename.avi; do
         nice -19 mencoder -aid 128 -oac pcm -ovc lavc \
     -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:mbd=2:trell:vbitrate=509:vpass=$i \
     -sws 2 -vf crop=672:316:24:130,scale=544:240 \
     -dvd-device some_image.bin dvd://1
      -o $j
i=2
  done

What if the first pass was made with -nosound. Would that effect the
divx2pass.log file?
