Setting the Xvid 1st and 2nd pass settings in GordianKnot

To ensure you will get optimal quality after conversion, we will be using 2 passes - this significantly improves quality, and allows to predict the size of the file. In order to do so, you have to configure GordianKnot once for 1st and 2nd pass settings.

• In GordianKnot, select the Options tab

• Select the [First Pass] button under XviD default codec settings

fig 1

A screen will pop up, where you can select a default profile.

Ensure the encoding type is set to "Twopass -1st pass"

click the [more...] button at the "profile @ level:" line.

Double check the settings with fig 2.

• Click [OK] and [OK] to return to the GordianKnot window
• Click [second pass] under XviD. Another screen will pop up.
• Confirm "Twopass - 2nd pass" is selected
• Click again on the top [more...] button.
• Confirm the settings are the same (fig 3)

Click [OK] button 2 times to return to Gordianknot.

That's All!
