If I could I would that's always been my intention but I simply don't
have the in-depth knowledge of the internals of mpeg ts or pes files
needed to fix it. There isn't just one problem either but a whole load
of them. You'd have to completely rewrite the lossless encoder to get it
anywhere near as good a ProjectX's two pass approach at finding and then
fixing any stream errors when demuxing and cutting files.
