I have several such tools that I've written over the past two weeks in
getting familiar with the MPEG2 stuff for the transcoding effort.  There
are also lots of tools out there to demux/remux the streams.

I have lots of documentation about mpeg2 streams (PS, as well as
elementary streams.  not much on the MPEG2-TS streams tho (that is DVB)

E-mail me off-list, and I'll provide such documentation.  What info I
have is too big for me to make generally availiable.
