    that EOR. EOR is unset by the first keyframe after it.

index_ptr
    Length in bytes from the first byte of the index startcode to the first
    byte of the index_ptr. If there is no index, index_ptr MUST NOT be
    written.

id
    the ID of the type/name pair, so it is more compact
    0 means end

Index:
------

Note: with realtime streaming, there is no end, so no index there either
An index SHOULD be written for every stream. Indices MUST be placed at end
of file. Indices MAY be repeated for a stream.

index_ptr
    Length in bytes from the first byte of the index startcode to the first
    byte of the index_ptr. If there is no index, index_ptr MUST NOT be
    written. If there are several indexes, index_ptr MUST point to the last
    index.

id
    the ID of the type/name pair, so it is more compact
    0 means end

Index:
------

Note: with realtime streaming, there is no end, so no index there either
Index MAY only be repeated after main headers.
If an index is written anywhere in the file, it MUST be written at end of
file as well.
