Sorry, 
forget the last mail from me. 
It was NOT for this list.

Hallo Savvas,
the explanation from Jason seems to say, that the irregularities 
only appear at the very end of the GoP and are only a fallback to
P, P, P, P,
I think I could deal with that....

But maybe you should reduce --scenecut 40 to a lower value, because
we had seen much to many scenecuts?

Regards, Peter

--scenecut 0 is off.

The connection is because x264 will not place B-frames across a point
where scenecut detection triggered.  So, for example:

A B C D

Suppose x264 wants to do:

P b b P

But suppose scenecut detection says "D" is different enough from "A"
to warrant a scenecut.  Then, x264 can't do the above.  However, it's
possible that no single frame difference is enough to trigger
scenecut, so a keyframe is never actually placed.  This can happen in
short areas of extreme motion.

Jason
