does this field have any meaning for h.264? I thought a frame could
consist of a mixture of B- P- and I-slices. What is the policy of the
h.264 decoder to set this field currently? I haven't checked recently
but I remember it to have weird values for the h.264 files I checked.
I can check again, if that helps.
