Redirection to Variable bitrate

I think this article should be a separated article or redirected to Variable bitrate. (Multi-pass encoding is mentioned in Variable bitrate#Methods of VBR encoding.) It should not be redirected to Smart Bitrate Control (SBC), because the SBC article is more specific about multi-pass encoding software tool Nandub (video processing utility).

"Two-pass encoding" (2-pass encoding) also known as "Multi-pass encoding" is a variable bitrate encoding method and it is used by many codecs and encoders.
