Not crazy at all
You should see some of my crazy posts

I noticed that in the output tab you can choose to save a ffstats file. If you are making a second encoding of the same source you can choose to use the previously created ffstats file, that way you can do a second pass encoding.
I opened in a text viewer such a file and I noticed that is in plain text. I think that you or somebody with programing skills and more understanding than me of how things work can understand what is in that file and how it can be modified to work the way we want.
My idea: it could be great if we could feed FFVFW first with a sampled file (made with sampler.dll), modify the obtained ffstats by extrapolating the values and then using the resulted file for final encoding.
What do you think?

The problem is that these statistics are for useable if we have control of the encoder. For example, even though we can have a footage analysis with the stats, we can't apply them to TMPEG (or other encoders) because we can't determine what the compresibility of the encoded mpeg will be. Every encoder will have different internal algorithms, so we can't tell what the output will be.
Only if we have full control of the encoder quantization, etc., then we could apply the stats for a post-process.
So the stats created by ffvfw are really usefull for it's internal second pass, when it finally works!, because right now it bombs on the second pass.
