Yes, I now tried two MPEG-TS  by hand on the command line with -sb near to the 
end of the first file and I got:

VIDEO MPEG2(pid=110) AUDIO A52(pid=125) NO SUBS (yet)!  PROGRAM N. 0
MPEG: FATAL: EOF while searching for sequence header.
Video: Cannot read properties.

And I see no picture at all ... when I increase the distance to the end it 
starts playing,... but it don't jumps to the next file! Instead it repeats 
the same postion and stops playing after that.

This afternoon I tried it with two MPEG-PSs, and that works... even if that 
files don't fit together (there's just a small break).  So, at the moment I 
think that's a inherent problem mplayer has with transport streams...

This would have the disadvatage, that you can't use the navigation keys in the 
mplayer window as Sven told me this afternoon... AND probabely breaks Windows
compability!

You mean merging VOBs?

I thought more of merging the two parts of a recording where I stopped because 
of a commercial break! And that works nearly flawlessly... not a single break 
in the output file... :-))

At the cut position the timestamp was jumping a few minutes forwards but since 
I had the last STOP before resp. new START after that position that was no 
problem... 

Only the mplayer playback stops at the end of the file but  that's no big 
problem... just start it again a few frames later... :-)

Maybe it would be a got ideat to indicate the file boarders on the lin slider 
scale by some marker? That  way one would know why mplayer/timestamps behave 
strange...
