For the motion estimation subpel mode the largest size is the worst. More reference frames are and more b-frames can be better. If the setting actually controls the maximum number of b-frames and the actual number is decided adaptively then more are better.

For the motion estimation subpel mode the smallest option is 'quarter pixel' should i use that ?? Maximum number of reference frames it would let me increase is 16. B-frames increased to a maximum of 3. Think these settings will help ? thanks you your advice. regards Marty.
