The b_pyramid option for x264 is used wrongly in the docs:
http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/show_bug.cgi?id=1725

11:47 <DonDiego> http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/show_bug.cgi?id=1725
11:47 <DonDiego> was the b_pyramid option removed from x264?
11:47 <Dark_Shikari> no
11:47 <Dark_Shikari> it now takes an argument, and it's now on by default 
11:48 <DonDiego> since which x264 version?
11:48 <Dark_Shikari> ages ago
11:48 <Dark_Shikari> it takes an argument = none, strict, or normal
11:48 <DonDiego> 1 week/month/year? :)
11:48 <Dark_Shikari> year+
11:48 <DonDiego> ok

This issue has me slightly puzzled.  Some investigation by a person that
knows more about encoding would be welcome.
