Yeah, OK, OK.  I've been seeing it for ages, but it never bothered my 
videos up until this one.

x264 [info]: frame B:419   Avg QP:28.00  size:  1291
x264 [info]: consecutive B-frames: 20.9% 61.2%  9.3%  8.7%

If I take out 419 b-frames, what detrimental affect will it have?  I 
think I read somewhere that they are important for still scenes.

"MEncoder's libavformat muxing is presently broken."

Will this be fixed it the foreseeable future?

Thanks,
