        Interesting - at one time there was just 1 developer and he was
        impossible to contact.

        That's why using the latest version is recommended ;)

        Let us know if you see or hear a difference :)

        That's one of two things:  1) left over and needs to be removed or 
        2) Another way of saying "mpeg2enc will not necessarily catch invalid
        combinations of options if you're playing around".

        Hmmm, maybe even both 1 and 2 <grin>

        Right - because almost all folks have never bothered to run encodings
        with and without them ;)   The encoding time increases substantially
        because  B frames are computationally expensive and the resulting
        file, at least with mpeg2enc (I'm trying to find time to experiment
        with other encoders), has always been larger (higher bitrate) when
        using B frames.  So I stopped using them ;)  I do have a couple
        other encoders to test with - just haven't had time to do much with 
        them .

        Cheers,
