Comment:

 1. For lots of transport streams (e.g. those originating from a TV
 broadcast) it is perfectly normal for there not to exist any point where
 you can split the files cleanly on keyframes (because when you split
 everything before the start of a keyframe for PID x, you cut in the middle
 of a packet of PID y; not to mention the PMT/PAT etc.). So the only
 splitting of a transport stream I'd call "bad" is when you split right
 through a transport stream packet.
 2. The concat protocol really does just what cat does (ok, it also
 provides seekability, but that's it).
