What ffmpeg settings should I use to convert a video into xvid with a mixed speed and quality ratio, using 2-passes, and alternativly 1 pass.

Currently I use the following for just 1 pass, but I need a better sugestion.

-acodec libmp3lame 
-ab 128 
-ar 44100 
-ac 2
-vcodec libxvid 
-qmin 3 
-qmax 5 
-mbd 2 
-bf 2 
-flags +4mv -trellis -aic 
-cmp 2 
-subcmp 2 
-g 2 
-maxrate 1300 
-b 1200 
-threads 0
