Closed because 1.0 is not supported anymore.

One follow up before you close this ticket: I notice that a checkbox for 1-pass encoding is available in the preset for "advanced video settings" within any version of the Video module, but perhaps that is a typo? Should that be renamed to be 2-pass? That would make more sense because why would one need a checkbox for a single pass job?

2-pass is the default behavior for both FFmpeg and Zencoder. If for some reason you want 1-pass, you can use the checkbox.

Oh good to know! My understanding is that a temporary file is created for 2-pass encoding to work. If that is true, shouldn't it show up in /tmp when the transcoding job is running? I never see any extra files than extensions like mp4, webm, etc.

It appears that twopass encoding wasn't really working with FFmpeg. I have fixed that.
