removing subpackets (everyone hates them ...) removing shuffle_type (meaningless without subpackets) making timestamp_lsb a simple unsigned value (someone proposed that a long time ago, dunno dont remember who, IIRC it was rejected as it more often required the timestamp_msb to be coded but by defining lsb relative to the last lsb we need very few msbs in the error free case and for damaged files its also pretty difficult to trash the timestamp, for example for a fixed fps stream with 7bit lsb_timestamps we need to loose >64 frames in a row to end up with a wrong timestamp) cleanup (filesize and such where only partially removed) frame_code byte, with the meaning of each value stored in the main header the frame_code contains the keyframe_flag, packet_type and can contain the timestamp_delta, stream_id and the data_size or part if it
