If I were to change the mode=5 to mode=2 for the second pass AviSynth script, I know it wouldn't be vfr(I didn't realize vfr wasn't a big help for x264) anymore, but in that case, I would be OK running just the 1st and 2nd passes, right?

BTW, I turned off AQ and it seemed to help it out a little bit and made it less noticeable.
1) Take your 1st pass script and edit out everything except TFM and tdecimate. run an analysis pass with the absolute fastest settings OR load it into vdub and play the video all the way through. This will create the timecodes files.
2) Take your 2nd pass script and run 2 passes of x264 like you normally would as an encode.
