That's odd. Before 2.0 vita rejected all streams that were higher than level 3.1. Since 2.0 this check was removed. However it's limited by the number of reframes. Usually I encode 720p for my vita with
Code:
--preset veryslow --ref 4 (--crf 17)
I'll recheck everything later today, but for now it's kinda hard to believe that simple
doesn't work.

Vita started supporting 1080p only since FW 2.0 (before maximum resolution was 720p), I think this is the reason why it's worded that way.
UPD: just checked (--preset veryslow --ref 1-16) for 720p and 540p. It didn't reject them even with 16 reframes (
540p/
720p).
Now I have to find something heavy to check stability. Because even if files passed initial check they still could be rejected by the decoder after some time.
Oh, and don't forget to always include audio that works (aac with ~ 192 kbit/s bitrate or less). Vita rejects video without audio or with high bitrate audio (I still don't know real limit).
