I've personnally got a different opinion than Mark about it. The iso specs
forbid usage of reservoir with 320k frames and up. So I personnally think
that --nores must be used when encoding with -b 320. Otherwise, it could
cause problems in players, especially hardware players. To my mind, --nores
should be the default with -b 320, but different people got different
opinions about it.
