Oh come on, cause artifacts, they dont process ts files on 6502s.

So why not listen to someone who has done this job for a fair  number of years, and still does.

So now you need it to work for broken TS files, how about a flag in the ts driver, somthing like allow_broken_and_non_compliant_streams=1

As i said before, take it if you want, its in my local tree and running fine on my encoders, so im happy it works. I wont bother pushing the multisection code as this relies on the version number patch to work correctly.
