According to my calcumalations, the iPhone 4 should be able to handle up to 13 reference frames for 720x480 anamorphic DVD video. (18000/((480/16)*(720/16))=~13) Could anyone confirm that they have successfully played SD video with 13 reference frames and 16 B-frames on an iPhone 4? I would test thi...

Thanks Rodeo. Is there a good reason for choosing modulus 2 over anamorphic strict or vice versa? Also, what setting would you recommend for HD sources?

I read elsewhere on this forum that setting modulus to 4 is recommended if your device supports it. Does anyone know if iPhone 4 supports a modulus setting of 4? If so, do you agree that 4 is the best setting?

Thanks, Rodney. I had been to that page, but didn't notice the maximum ref. frames listed next to the maximum resolution. From what I've been able to gather, the consensus on using 2-pass encoding for the ipod was that it's bad, because the ipod can't handle the wide bitrate fluctuations produced by...

Yes - merange is an encode-time issue but is not player-dependent. No compatibility issues. Rodney Is this also true of subq? Can that be set to 9 without breaking iPod compatibility? How many reference frames can be used while maintaining iPod compatibility? In general, what are the highest settin...
