Hi,
I have used it in the h263 dissector with a h263 prefix unfortunatly there is only short sequences
Beeing dissected most being the same in all h263 frames :(
Perhaps it can be used in the PER dissector but I didn't want to use it before we had agreed on a format to
avoid to many changes.

OK,

I'll wait until you check in the tvb_get_bits() change, then look at it again.  Any test files you could share with longer bit sequences and/or different bit offsets would be welcome (so I don't trash it just to make my little examples work :) ).
