Not to mention that the message is only relevant if you are encoding
with B frames; the command line provided does not say to use B frames in
the output video, so unless x264 uses them by default (which I don't
believe it does), they won't be used and the problem won't arise.
(I also thought this problem was fixed some time ago, but I see the
message is still there in latest SVN, so maybe not...)
