so you want the ability to specify the frame type yourself in some kind
of playlist ala:

frame000001 I
frame000002 P
frame000003 B
frame000004 P
frame000005 B
...
?

are there programs that give the user that much power ? it seems like
each user would have to know the intricate details of each codec before
encoding any video.

not that i am for or against your idea, i am just curious.
