Bluray escapes this by using MPEG-2 transport streams as the container, but with a 4-byte timecode added to each transport packet.

The only extra time is the memory access of 4 more bytes; negligible in comparison to the calculation time. mem4r is a 4-byte quantity (typically defined with a DD directive) containing a single precision floating point number. mem10d is a 10-byte quantity (also defined via DT) containing a special Binary Coded Decimal format recognized by the FBLD and FBSTP instructions.

This format is useful for input and output of floating point numbers. mem4i is a 4-byte quantity representing a signed integer in two's-complement notation. mem2i is a 2-byte quantity representing a signed integer in two's-complement notation. mem14 and mem94 are 14 - and 94-byte buffers containing the 87 machine state.

B or BYTE: byte-sized memory variable W or WORD: word (2 byte) sized memory variable D or DWORD: doubleword (4-byte) sized memory variable Q or QWORD: quadword (8-byte) sized memory variable T or TWORD: 10-byte-sized memory variable NEAR: program label accessed within a segment FAR: program label accessed from outside this segment ABS: an absolute number (i.e., an immediate constant)

Using 4 bytes for each character is wasteful, though, when most characters need only one or two, and there are programming problems with implementing 4-byte characters, so Unicode provides Transformation

It was in setting up the area-of-interest code that I discovered the little 4-byte float issue above.
