+    the whole frame. In other words, this defines the number of frames
+    for which the whole frame will be intra-refreshed.  An example:
+    setting period to 1 means that the whole frame will be refreshed,
+    setting period to 2 means that the half of macroblocks will be
+    intra-refreshed on frameX and the other half of macroblocks
+    will be refreshed in frameX + 1 and so on. Setting the period to
