            <div>Hi,</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>  The P and B frames depend on nearby I frames. Also,
              when you re-encode an I frame, there is no reason to
              expect it to be the same size as it was  before.</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>  So in the general case, you have to re-encode every
              frame after the I frame in addition to the I frame. This
              can of course vary based on GOP structure.</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>  It's not a practical thing to do.</div>
            <div><br>

    why does the differing size of the new I frame matter?<br>
