iPod and iPhone OS 4, and possibly Apple's new Quicktime X, can no longer
handle ANY B frames in h264 mp4 videos. [?]

 This is CONTRARY to recent mencoder documentation that many of you will
have.

This may apply for other MPEG-4 standards, but I haven't tried them yet.
Seems stupid that they should wander further from the specifications with an
upgrade, but there it is-over-priced proprietry software. So, unfortunately,
file sizes will increase a bit.
