As far as I remember, the first frame the sequence header data applies
to is the one with sequence number 0 (zero). This is always either an I
or B frame, due to MPEG's frame ordering rules. But I often noticed that
the switch occurred at the last P frame of the previous GOP instead -
which is one frame too early. The bookmarks are set correctly, however,
so I guess there's an off-by-one bug somewhere in the image processing
chain.

The letterbox bars either aren't transmitted at all, or they're part of
the frame (and encoded in the same way).
