Two pass encoding with XviD

[leatherneckbiker]

All the pre-defined functions that use xvid are using fixed-quant=N single passes.  Will Fuoco support two pass conversion with xvid(any) codec and how would that be set up? 

I want to input ANY to NTSC using xvid and ac3 at 720p two passes with a target size of 1.4 Gb.  From the command line I want to use:

mencoder <input> -ofps 30 -ovc xvid -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=ac3 -vf scale -zoom -xy 720 -xvidencopts pass=1 -o /dev/null
mencoder <input> -ofps 30 -ovc xvid -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=ac3 -vf scale -zoom -xy 720 -xvidencopts pass=2:bitrate=-1400000 -o <output.avi>

the Fuoco version would be:

mencoder INPUT -ofps 30 -ovc xvid -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=ac3 -vf scale -zoom -xy 720 -xvidencopts pass=1 -o /dev/null
mencoder <input.avi> -ofps 30 -ovc xvid -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=ac3 -vf scale -zoom -xy 720 -xvidencopts pass=2:bitrate=-1400000 -o OUTPUT

My question is, will Fuoco handle the /dev/null and can both of those separate command lines be run concurrently without user interaction?

Am I making any sense?
