I keep getting this error, "Stats file not found", so i think the first pass DOES NOT create a stats file. So, what to do when the first pass doesn't make a statsfile in VirtualDub with the xvid codec? Can I make one with notepad, or is there some example, anywhere, I can modify? thanks.
No you can't create one, it contains the results of the first pass analysis. Have you looked on the harddrive for a file called video.pass ? That will be the file you need. To try and fix it properly, open up the xvid config and set it to encoding type / two pass 1st pass and hit the "more" button to the right. Make sure the stats file name is .\video.pass Do the same check on the encoding type /two pass 2nd pass.
