Thanks for the help, this make a lot of sense. The original video has a GOP
size of 12, and that was what it was being re-encoded as.

I tried changing to AVCodecContext->gop_size to 0 which, according to the
documentation, is for intra_only. (I tried setting it to 1 also as you
suggested)

This hasn't worked, although there may be other things contributing to the
problem.

However, I am a little skeptical that setting the gop_size to 0 is doing
what I thought it would. Shouldn't this make all the frames I-frames, with
no B or P frames?

I ask because I encoded 3 videos of different gop_sizes and the sizes of the
resulting videos were:

gop_size = 30                 video size = 4.3mb
gop_size = 15                 video size = 4.4mb
gop_size = 0                   video size = 4.6mb

I would have imaged that the size of the video with gop_size=0 would be a
lot bigger, but this might have something to do with the fact that the video
was only very short.

So my questions are: Is there another setting that is required to make all
the frames I-frames? Is this possible? Is there any way of seeing what type
of frames (I, P, B) an encoded video has?

Cheers
