I'm not sure. I tried just to concatenate files and play them but this does not 
work well.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, these words still mean nothing to me. 
Any links to the docs or some examples? 

I'm going to start to dig into ffmpeg APIs but they are huge. As I see, I need 
to check only one or two layers: stream container and packets/frames without 
video/audio decoding:

1. open an input file
2. get streams info
3. open output MPEG transport stream
4. loop: (get packet/frame, fix DTS/PTS, send it to the output stream)
5. open next input file, and so on.

I would appreciate if someone familiar with ffmpeg API shows me a right 
direction: where to start. Is there anything like "ffmpeg for idiots"? :)
