It skips that frame coding spec and goes to the next non-B spec.  For
instance, if you specify

BBIBBP

in your CTL file, the frame type in a 24-frame animation will be 
assigned this way:

IBB PBB IBB PBB IBB PBB IBB PBI

If your CTL specified this:

BBIBBPBBP

The frame types would be assigned like this:

IBB PBB PBB IBB PBB PBB IBB PBP

If you use option -v1 in the CMPEG command line, it will tell you what
frame type is being used for each frame.

John
