Have you tried using ProjectX to rebuild the TS? ISTR having some
success just using projectX to get rid of the errors which cause the
transcode to fail, then using the myth editor to actually cut the
file.

This seems to work 'ok', but probably isn't perfect...

With the version of ProjectX I'm currently on you can do this by
selecting 'To TS' in the Process window and just picking the mpeg file
and clicking go. It usually tidies up the file enough that
mythtranscode can cope with it afterwards.
