For H.264 and H.265, GDR is intra refresh encoding together with recovery point 
SEI. SEI is optional for
decoding, but it’s critical for GDR decoding. For H.266, GDR is a NALU type, 
which makes this
technique complete.

Without recovery point SEI, we can try decoding at any point blindly by specify 
-flags output_corrupt,
which isn’t the default behavior of our decoder. Otherwise all frames can be 
dropped and
never recovery.

x264 don’t make option to disable recovery point SEI, which I think is the 
right design.
On the other hand, both x265 and hevc_nvenc don’t output recovery point SEI or 
output
recovery point SEI with useless fields, which makes user who want to use intra 
refresh
encoding must specify -flags output_corrupt for decoding. That is, without 
recovery point
SEI, user should have prior knowledge on encoding configuration before decoding.

Anyway, even incorrect recovery point SEI is helpful so we don’t need to 
specify -flags
output_corrupt manually. Follow x264’s design, I don’t think save a few bytes 
worth the
trouble of disable recovery point SEI.
