Re: alternatives to handbrake
Yes, it increases the quality of the encoding because, in low bitrate scenarios, the second pass helps the encoder to allocate that bandwidth more efficiently.

It would only make sense if the video has to be a given size, for instance when it is put on a optical disk. |

However, that's not true. 2-pass VBR will give you better quality, especially in low bitrate situations, and is for a wide variety of solutions, not just optical disc. I don't know where you're getting this idea, but it's not true. |

Re: alternatives to handbrake
Why not, there is nothing inherently wrong about H.264.
Unless you want to provide a download function for the original upload H.264 or H.265 is just fine. And also it saves bandwidth because these codecs provide both intra- and inter-frame compression. Feel free to do two-pass encoding sending your video to Vimeo and YouTue, I think you are wasting your time though. |

Lossy to lossy, like saving an MP3 file as a new MP3 file.

It's also probably no more than visually lossless, and of course, you have to concur about generation loss. Taking an MP3 and saving it was a lossless WAV file doesn't make the audio lossless, even if you start at 320kps. |

Quality is much better, and it's crazy fast compared to Edius. So there, you have the best of both worlds, Edius convenience/ease/etc and x264 quality... it's really a no-brainer. |

Re: alternatives to handbrake
If on Windows and want to use the x264 library as in Handbrake but you want a more configurable GUI with more options and presets try using VidCoder. You can throw almost any master at it. ProRes, AVI, DNxHD, MXF of various flavors. It does everything Handbrake does with more options.
