Please show me an example where you can use the latter.

I can only assume you are passing explicit external codec options via
-x264-params/-x265-params.

I'm not aware that you could easily do that with ffmpeg. You could
output the picture types frame by frame with ffprobe, and do some
automated counting.

My MS Outlook does the same thing, when I write such an English phrase,
and it initially interprets the sentence as German. :-P
