We were able to determine a couple things through email about this issue:
1. The TSV converter had an error with 8 bit output! This should be corrected now along with handling GIFs better.
2. The 8 bit/no audio setting needs to be used with TinyDuino example code.
Hopefully anybody else using TinyDuino/TinyScreen can mention if this is working correctly or has issues, then we can update the older tutorials to point to the new one.
