I was just wondering why is "Frame Reordering" an option and not
compulsary for everyone trying to export a QuickTime movie file using
H.264 compressor. I understand it provides better compression (or does
it ?)
Frame reordering, or B-frame insertion, is a feature of H.264's Main
profile, but not Baseline. So if you have a video decoder that only
supports h264 baseline, it would not be able to work with frame-
reordered content. Such is the case with the video iPods. So it's
important that compressionists have the "Frame Reordering" choice.
You're right, frame reordering does result in better quality and
smaller files, but it takes longer to encode, and is more decode
intensive.

Just trying to understand, under what circumstances would one not want
to use it ? Does it have any impact on streaming or playback
time/quality ?
