hmm, i think we havent thought about that ...
at least such a file cannot contain any frames, stream headers or syncpoints
and without timebases it cannot contain an (useless) index and info packets

now the timebase less case really is useless because the only thing which
you could store in the file would be the main header and possibly future
new headers ...

in the streamless but not timebase less case you could store an index which
would contain nothing and info packets iam not sure if theres any use for
that? seperating info packets from actual streams like providing just a
info packet file for some other file, like providing detailed info for
a dvd, so someone could take th dvd remux it to nut and add the info somehow
?
