To expand a bit more on that, as I already said, IDs are stored on
CONTAINER level, not on video stream level. It's the container that
holds those values, not the stream itself

Also, during all this time you've been asking to set such a high ID in
an AVI, it is still not clear to me why you want to do it. You think
just because your MTS file has an ID of 4352, it should be exactly the
same in the AVI you're outputting. You couldn't be more wrong if you
think that (also a value of 4352 as ID for a video stream in AVI
container, is non-standard -- the first video stream in AVI is always
0, second is 1, third is 2, etc)
