Be careful , a video PES in a TS usually doesn't contain the length
field, i.e. it is set to 0. Furthermore, their length is not bound by
the maximal possible value for an unsigned  16 bit number,
i.e. 0xffff. ARD and ZDF are masters in very long video PES, this is
part of the reason for the muxing problem. Unfortunately, this is all
conform with the MPEG standard.
