Green =this bitrate is quite good, if you choose it you'll obtain good quality for the current image size Red =this bitrate is too low for the selected image size, if you choose it you'll be compressing your movie too much and the quality will not be acceptable with the current image size (consider choosing another bitrate, or use a smaller size) The suggested bitrates appear either in red, green or black color in the following dialog: Note that only MP3 audio is supported for 3-pass.

log file, and the third pass will use those statistics to optimize the final video encoding (using the audio encoded in 1st pass). You will be then prompted for choosing a video bitrate amongst suggested options to fit in one or two CDs. The file will be encoded three times, the first one will encode only the audio audio and calculate the video bitrate (1st pass duration is about 1h30 on a G4 for an average movie).
