I took this phrace from mpeg papers. Basically this is the error
caused by difference of decoding (IDCT) transformation on the encoder
and decoder. You may remember older XviD encoding getting greenish on
very long sequences, that was caused by libmpeg2 dct transformation..
( h264 is excluded from the most part because it uses integer exact
transformation.

Fix it as you please.

After hearing what Michael said, I think that returning the phrase
<132 would be mandatory. But with the addition that it must be <=132
of P-Frames. So if you use e.g. 1 b-frame u get double that (264).

I haven't looked at the encoder and i supposed that it was complaint
and enforces the rule at MB level. This may need to be fixed (at least
for vstrict ;)


Fix the text as you please.
