DISCLAIMER: I'm a Newbie; please bear with me...
1. I've read and read and read, but I still don't understand B frames, I frames or P frames.
One site advised using as many B frames as possible because they're inherently good somehow (how, IDK).
Another site said not to use too many B frames because they result in a less sharp picture.
What are the differences between these frame types, and what is a good number of B frames to use when decoding with, say, HandBrake? (That doesn't result in a less-sharp picture.)
2. What is "psy-rd" and what is a good setting? I hear the settings are
very fussy and you can get a fuzzy, less sharp picture unless you use psy-rd...just...right...
3. Does the very latest H.264 support psy-rdo, and what the heck is it? What are good settings?
4. Reference frames: the more the better?
5. Does anyone know the H.264 instruction for "verbose logging"? I've tried v=1, vb=1, verbose=1, verboselog=1, verboselogging=1 in HandBrake, but the Activity Window always says unrecognized instruction -- every time.
Sorry for so many questions.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kerry
