Has to load the file to read it always.   Can't just load part of a little
endian file pretty sure.   I know here I can load a beauty pass and scrub
it and play around with it and do all kinds of fun things. When some 3d guy
decides to put 50 passes (10-15) it take longer to load and they are don't
scrub.
