Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
performing a first pass encoding of a two-pass encoding process on a first frame of a stream of frames using a first-pass reference frame;
determining a complexity of the first frame based upon the first pass encoding of the first frame;
adjusting the complexity of the first frame based on a quality difference between a second-pass reference frame to be used during a second pass encoding of the two-pass encoding process for the first frame and the first-pass reference frame so as to produce an adjusted complexity, wherein the second-pass reference frame is different from the first-pass reference frame; and
performing the second pass encoding on the first frame using the second-pass reference frame and according to the adjusted complexity to generate an encoded frame.
