    VBR 2 Pass, VBR 1 Pass or CBR?

      Hi,

       

      How much better is the quality of VBR 2 pass, than VBR 1 Pass or CBR?

       

      I am encoding a timeline from Premiere Pro right now at Target bit Rate 18.5, Max Bit Rate 20. 1440 x 1080i H.264 Blu-Ray at VBR 2 Pass, PCM Audio

       

      It has been encoding for 4 hours and it has another 4 hours to go. It is a 2 and a half hour PPro CS 5.5 Timeline.

       

      I know VBR 2 Pass looks great, but it is that much better than 1 Pass or VBR when I Burn it in Encore?

       

      Thanks
