The <=132 frame rule is only valid at MacroBlock level not at frame one.
Following it gives worse compression even with IP sequence.(B-Frames doesn't accumulate error) git-svn-id: svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk@17234 b3059339-0415-0410-9bf9-f77b7e298cf2

.B keyint=<0\-300>
maximum interval between keyframes in frames (default: 250 or one
-keyframe every ten seconds in a 25fps movie).
-Keyframes are needed for seeking as seeking is only possible to a keyframe, but
+keyframe every ten seconds in a 25fps movie. This is recommended default for MPEG-4).
+Most codecs require regular keyframes in order to limit the accumulation of mismatch error.
+Keyframes are also needed for seeking as seeking is only possible to a keyframe, but
keyframes need more space than other frames, so larger numbers here mean
slightly smaller files but less precise seeking.
0 is equivalent to 1, which makes every frame a keyframe.
Values >300 are not recommended as the quality might be bad depending upon
decoder, encoder and luck.
-For a strict MPEG-1/2/4 compliance this would have to be <=132.
+It is a common for MPEG-1/2 to use values <=30.
