It depends on what you use to edit the videos. VideoReDo is nice, but it
costs money. There are TSSniper and h264ts_cutter, which are free, but
are not as user-friendly (though quite usable) and can only cut on
I-frames. For all three, your original file should work, but I don't
know the specifics of what produced your file. If the program you want
won't take the file, you should be able to remux with tsMuxeR, which
will give you a more standard MPEG-TS container.
However, if you mean actual editing (effects, transitions, etc.) and not
just cutting, then I don't know. If I'm not mistaken, commercial editors
like Vegas will likely support even the most hacked-up containers as
long as they're common enough.
