mpeg 1 and 2, PS and TS

there are limits on the buffer sizes, if you do not know the dts you do
not know when a frame is removed thus you do not know if your buffer will
overflow, underflow or neither.

and please keep in mind we dont implement a suboptimal CBR-only muxer but
try to use the buffers to their full extend permitted by the spec.

and there is no such thing called a PES encoder
