Actually VDR doesn't look at any PTS or whatever when cutting. It simply
takes the I-frame at the starting point together with whatever audio
packets might be in there. This is a very simple approach which must
work since replaying an MPEG2 stream must be able to start at any time
from the next available I-frame.
