I'll take a look at a eubc sample and see if its a similar thing. The real
problem I'm having is this OPAtom file doesn't have a index table,
mxf_read_packet and mxf_handle_small_eubc need one. I'm thinking maybe I
could generate a proper index table so that everything can continue as
usual and not implement a new read packet function? I'll play around a bit
more and see if I can come up with something better, I'm still trying to
wrap my head around edit_unit_absolute_offset. Thanks for taking the time
to review.
