So, if we define a new type of tvbuff which has to be used, wouldn't that effect the dissectors?

I was thinking that the file backing the tvbuff would be a separate file and not the capture file. In that case, encryption and compression of capture file wouldn't matter. Am I missing something here? Cheers Ambarisha
