There's already a check to trigger MEDIA_ERR_DECODE when any modified timestamp
would underflow (< 0) but nothing about how to handle overflow. This is
particularly likely with 32-bit timestamp fields, but can of course happen
regardlessly.

Suggestion: If any modified timestamp would overflow in the representation used
in the byte stream, trigger a MEDIA_ERR_DECODE.

In addition, the byte stream specs could place the necessary requirements to
make this situation as unlikely as possible.
