There was an old hevc encoder that did something like that. We ended up
adding a workaround for it as well. And i can imagine capturing a
transport stream with bad network conditions could result in all kinds
randomly placed truncation.
This patch is not fixing anything, it's just removing an error level log
message with a warning one so it's "less scary", since ultimately the
file is decodeable with or without it because truncation is ignored by
the decoder.
I gave a suggestion to properly remove the scary messages and prevent
littering the decoder with custom checks in arbitrary places.
