It's not just I (key) frames. That would be really bad for quality or data rate. There's an I frame every 1 second, which gives me a place to cut. In general, not just for RetroClip, having I frames is important as it will allow for efficient scrubbing through the video in a playback application.


Ah right so you technically don't save exactly 60.0 seconds, but I guess that's OK ;)

Like I said my knowledge of this stuff mostly dates back to mpeg2 days and I could have sworn the I frames were further apart, except on scene cuts.


I actually pad it to avoid coming up short :)
