 * bits over any plausible range of frame rates. (Starting with bit 8 allows
 * any frame rate slower than 352fps.) The MSB determines the size of the array.
 * It is chosen so that two frames can't use the same slot during the
 * encoder's max frame delay (set by the standard as 16 frames) and so
 * that, up to some minimum frame rate, frames are guaranteed to map to
 * different slots. (An MSB of 17 which is 2^(17-8+1) = 1024 slots guarantees
