tsdemux: "No program activated before EOS" with .ts files generated by a Xcruiser PVR

Description

I'm just trying out the new version of Pitivi that appeared in the fedora repos today (0.92). I tried importing a .ts file. I believe this is encoded using 4cc mpeg & audio mp2 (At least that is what Avidemux claims it is - handbrake just says its mpeg2 video). So avidemux & handbrake recognise it but Pitivi does not. Pitivi displays a music icon and then crashes when I try to import it. Current workaround is to transcode the file to a different format using avidemux or handbrake. Then I can import it ok into Pitivi.

The source of the file is a direct recording from an Xcruiser satellite receiver onto an external USB disk. As far as I know the satellite receiver doesn't transcode the recording just basically stores whatever was transmitted by the satellite.

So is there any way to get Pitivi to directly import this type of file. Maybe I need to install some other package or plugin?
