I think you are talking about cell packets? I am not parsing the whole
layout myself, or rebuilding a VM, I am using libdvdread to generate the
streams and the events.

Because streams need to be closed and re-opened. Example: one audio stream
in a vob may be AC3 3 channels (the don't copy vob). The next vob has ac3 6
channels (the main feature). DTS and PTS points get reset when a new stream
is opened (in the stream).

Its not a problem when you playback. It's a problem when you regenerate
pts/dts for trancoding.
