can you not do a CPU true first pass ??
ou can do 2-pass in a few popular encoding programs, but the .stats file that is created is blank. The only way I've found to actually get a true 2-Pass is to run the first pass on the CPU, save the stats file and then use that during a second pass using NVENC which is a cumbersome process. Every other way I've encountered is no different than a 1-pass encode.
