widely supported.

that is an MPEG-2 program stream. ac-3 in MPEG-2 program streams

that is an MPEG-2 program stream with nav packets (that I guess are
not zero-sized).

I have absolutely no issue whatsoever with Mediainfo but please note
that (among the thousands of reports I worked on) I do not remember a
single report or user question for which Mediainfo helped in any way.
(FFmpeg command line and console output are nearly always required,
especially when a user thinks that the issue is "obvious" or similar.)
