Comment (by Balling):

 Blu-ray supports maximum 4 CABAC ref frames. Offcially that is, some
 geniuses put 5 refs.

 Blu-ray does support slicing though.

 "As I understand it, h.264 spec allows up to 16 reference frames, so this
 shouldn't be an issue."

 Not that simple. In Level 4.1 H.264 allows 9 reference frames for 720p and
 4 reference frames for 1080p. See table
