The ffmpeg quality benchmarks clearly showed that setting max_bframes to
more than one was actually bad for quality.  So far, my xvid tests
agree.  I have found substantial visual quality loss when setting
max_bframes to 2 instead of 1.  I haven't tried 3 but I can't imagine it
will be any better than 2.
