VideoEditor plugin can now cut .ts files

Written by gemx, on 12-01-2008

As some of you probably know i am currently trying to find a good way to fix the pcr/pts/dts patching in TsWriter, if some of these values suddenly "jump".
While trying to completely understand what IS going on and what SHOULD be going on, i wrote some test programs which deal with decoding/encoding of pcr,pts,dts...
As a side effect of these testing i discovered that one these small apps could be used to cut ts files with only small additions.
So i made them and added the classes to the VideoEditor plugin which is now able to cut .ts files

Although we stated out not to introduce new features i nevertheless decided to put this code in SVN because:
- it can't break anything existing. It's only executed if you choose to cut a .ts file which was not working at all before
- it was nearly finished and helped to understand how to fix some other bugs - so, no extra work.
I think that was quite missing in VideoEditor since most users who use TVEngine3 record in .ts format, so now you are able to cut those recordings too directly from inside MP
