I think it's certainly conceivable that a movie could alter its timecode 
like that. I also think it's unlikely. I think it would merit a warning 
in the code along the lines of, "Second timer change opcode encountered. 
Please notify the developers." And we would handle it if it every became 
an issue in the wild.
