Please have a look at mpegts_write_packet() public function in the
same c file. You notice that it accepts h264 packets in annex B format
only:

libavformat/mpegtsenc.c(977):
    if (st->codec->codec_id == CODEC_ID_H264) {
        const uint8_t *p = buf, *buf_end = p+size;
        uint32_t state = -1;

        if (pkt->size < 5 || AV_RB32(pkt->data) != 0x0000001) {
            av_log(s, AV_LOG_ERROR, "h264 bitstream malformated, "
                   "no startcode found, use -vbsf h264_mp4toannexb\n");
            return -1;
        }
        ...

Удачи,
