I was wondering about the knowledge base settings for encoding H.264 videos. It suggests a b-frame count of 3, but I was wondering why not just set it to max. With adaptive b-frames, the encoded will only use as many of them as will improve quality for the bitrate. This could be even more percievable in RTS games where still and panning frames can be primarialy encoded by motion compensation from previous and post P frames.
I wish I had some uncompressed RTS footage so that I could play around with that and Elecard Streem Eye, and I might be able to say more, but if someone knows a good reason why b-frames should not be higher than 3 when adaptive b-frames is on I am all ears.
