This happens because there are small errors in the recorded stream. You
can't avoid errors during receiption, so the solution is to correct them by
observing the presentation time stamp in the transport stream during
splitting into elementary streams. The tool PVAStrumento from Wilijo Heinen
will do this Job. It's a Windoze tool, but there is a command line version
that can be executed on Linux machines by using wine. (I havn't tried wine,
but PVAStrumento on Windoze is a nice thing).
