-//               does not cause the abort flag to be set.
-//
-//               The video and audio streams produced by get_video and
-//               get_audio are always of unlimited duration - you can
-//               always read another video frame or another audio
-//               sample.  This is true even if the specified length
-//               is reached, or an abort is flagged. If either stream
-//               runs out of data, it will synthesize blank video

 //               files.

+//               If you try to read more samples than are ready, the
