That would be it: I'm sure that, if the condition occurs and the
packet is written anyway, the file will be incorrect.

But that's if the packet is written. I would think this is a
recoverable issue/possibly with different outcomes, and just returning
the failure is good enough.

Reallocating is an alternate good solution, but I've already had my
share of that with prores. So I would prefer the assert then.
