That's why we need a better indexer. The current one handles a single
video stream, and only those audio tracks that are present at the very
beginning of the file. The new, improved one would scan the whole file
for streams, record their ids and build a frame index for each of them.
Besides that, it should be able to identify different channels
("programs" in DVB lingo) inside a transport stream.
Actually, wouldn't it be nice to have a DVB/ATSC receiver that records
several full transport streams in parallel, mixes them and writes them
to disk continuously? With today's disk capacities, it would take at
least 24 hours before the disk is full and the recorder starts writing
from the beginning again (in a ringbuffer fashion). You could also use
several disks in turn, or one for each transport stream, or a big RAID
for everything (I favor the first solution because it's more power
efficient - you can power down all disks except the one you're currently
recording to).
