Iam very strogly against breaking compatibility to move from one restricted system which you thought sufficient in the past to a slightly differen one you consider sufficient now.
Alright. Even though there is no implementation of chapters at this time..
hmm, well if thats true we might be able to cheat but i still think that maybe this isnt all that much of an improvment. being able to specify chapters in any timebase one wants seems sufficient. Having a timebase per timestamp seems like an overkill ...
That's probably okay too...
To clarify, if the decision is just to leave things as-is, I'd like to add a "SHOULD" recommending that NUT files use the same timebase for all chapters, or at least those with positive chapter_id. Also I suppose it's legal to include the gcd timebase in the global header's timebase list, and then chapters can truely be split at arbitrary points. :) Rich
