[FFmpeg-user] FFMPEG has trouble processing file while VLC plays mp2ts just fine

[serge2school]

I continue to have problem with getting ffmpeg to correctly process the video
file that VLC has no problem playing.

sample file: https://0x0.st/iFWC.m2ts

As per suggestion, I tried upgrading ffmpeg to 4.3 and probesize and
analyzeduration:

ffmpeg -i aa.m2ts -analyzeduration 2147M -probesize 2147M

This is the output (which seems to be similar to me):

ffmpeg -i aa.m2ts -analyzeduration 2147M -probesize 2147M
./snap/bin/ffmpeg -i aa.m2ts -analyzeduration 2147M -probesize 2147M

I hoped that maybe ffmpeg is missing some codec, so I also tried to see if I
can access it using libav so I wrote a simple program to check, and there is
definitely a pts error - I suspect because I am not reading the file
correctly. If I can get FFMPEG to read the file, I am certain that
everything else will resolve itself as well.

What is wrong with the format?
