Thats because most muxers dont store their name and version.
There are many mpeg-ps/ts and avi files that are broken in various ways,
it surely wouldnt hurt if we could check for the muxer instead of guessing
which value should be interpreted how.
(just see ffplays timestamp analysis code, had the buggy mpeg-ps muxers
 stored their name we could do it exactly instead of guessing)

and the others? (fliping the bitexactflag runing regtests and updating
all checksums should be trivial)

Awnsering whenever a program halts or runs forever is
On a turing machine, in general impossible (turings halting problem).
On any real computer, always possible as a real computer has a finite number
of states N, and will either halt in less than N cycles or never halt.
