Thanks for letting me know, section 6.1.1.7, 'I-pictures and group of pictures 
header' in the 13818-2 for anyone else that has not completly dived into the 
maze yet.

Ahh, so to remove this limitation (and possible bug, as we have yet to receive 
aconfirmation of what caused the bug) essentially what needs to be done is if 
noe GOP is discovered before a I-Frame construct a virtual GOP, then put all 
pictures/frames in this GOP untill the next I-Frame, right? Does not sound 
hard at all, does it?
