Acually, I didn't even think of vobedit. A quick search turned up-
https://github.com/jeoliva/mpegts-basic-parser
https://github.com/jeeb/mpegts
https://github.com/daniep01/MPEG-2-Transport-Stream-Packet-Analyser
https://www.serbod.com/--cc/mpeg-ts-parseranalyzer
https://tsduck.io/

One of them probably does what you want or can be modified to.

If you're going that direction, you may be better off with something like 
Rust or java/javascript (assuming that c/c++ are off the table); definitely 
something that already has some mpeg code available (rust does).

I'll take further discussion off the ffmpeg list because it's no longer 
on-topic.

Later,
