 > Note the below example source file has 1 video stream and 1 audio
 stream.

 > How can this be the case when you copy the streams?

 Transport streams may contain null packets to pad out bandwidth to a fixed
 value which could account for it.

 I've never used one, but search for transport stream analyzer and I guess
 you will be able to find something to look at your streams. Null packets
 have pid 0x1fff (8191).
