Looks like you & the VLC people were right:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_container_formats

According to this a PS can take MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Part 2 and TS
can take MPEG-1, MPEG-2 Part 2, MPEG-4 ASP, H.264, other formats in
private streams: VC-1, Dirac and a m2ts can take MPEG-2 Part 2, H.264,
VC-1

Maybe remuxing as a TS would fix it too? I dunno. For what its worth,
when I look at a TS stream from TV in mplayer, the length and progress
numbers are all fubar'd.
