Only the log file (and other similar files) are used by the 2nd pass, as well as the original input media of course. The script does not delete anything. You have to clean it up yourself.

Here's an example of the commands it sends out.. ffmpeg -i 1.VOB -pass 1 -an -vcodec libx264 -vpre fastfirstpass -b 378744 -bt 378744 -threads 0 -y -f mp4 pass1.tmp ffmpeg -i 1.VOB -pass 2 -acodec libfaac -ac 2 -ab 128k -vcodec libx264 -vpre hq -b 378744 -bt 378744 -threads 0 -y 1.VOB.mp4 is it supposed to input from A to pass1.tmp and then from A to B? Shouldn't it be A to tmp then tmp to B. Another thing. It doesn't get rid of pass1.tmp when it finishes. Erm, I don’t know if this is a bug but it seems to act weird when it does the 2 passes.
