[FFmpeg-user] ffprobe -show_frames values

[Anatol]

Werner, can you please shortly explain the no-scenecut issue.
Without scenecut detection, if such event occurs in the middle of the GOP,
as it usually does, the video quality till the end of the GOP will be
rather compromised. It appears as a 'breathing effect'.
It is mostly stands out when a high quality video played on a large screen.
Is there a way to avoid such effects without scene cut detection?

Thanks,
Anatol
