 Avoid B-frames in high motion scenes.
+See the b_sensitivity option to tune this strategy.

 Places B-frames more or less optimally to yield maximum quality (slower).

+.B b_sensitivity=<any integer greater than 0>
+Adjusts how sensitively vb_strategy=1 detects motion and avoids using
+B-frames (default: 40). 
+Lower sensitivities will result in more B-frames.
+Using more B-frames usually improves PSNR, but too many B-frames can
+hurt quality in high-motion scenes.
+Unless there is an extremely high amount of motion, b_sensitivity can
+safely be lowered below the default; 10 is a reasonable value in most

 .B brd_scale=<0\-10>
 Downscales frames for dynamic B-frame decision (default: 0).
 Each time brd_scale is increased by one, the frame dimensions are
