Hello everyone, I have some questions about B-frames in x264 and H.264 encoding.


1) Does "B-Frame as Reference Frames" feature improve output video quality? (I mean, should I enable or disable it?)

2) In "Sorenson Squeeze" software, there is "Number of B-frames" range of 0 to 100 (in x264 codec), so I can adjust any value of B-frames from 0 to 100. So, please tell me should I adjust the value 100 to result better quality? (Or, which value should be optimal for me? because I realy don't care about encoding speed, I just need HIGHEST QUALITY)

3) Should "pyramid B-frame" feature work, if "Number of B-frames" value is more than 3 ?

thanks.........
