Description

While playing back some of the [transcoded renditions](https://livepeerworkspace.slack.com/files/U012ZT0KRPX/F01GUN85URX/3ppin.tar), the mpegts demuxer complains a lot -

`[mpegts @ 0x7f6e88005bc0] Packet corrupt (stream = 0, dts = 813902940).`

Even though the player has no issues playing it back.

**Todo**
Figure out root cause or mitigation of the logs if it's not a real issue.

Research direction

Start by reproducing playback with the transcoded renditions in the linked 3ppin.tar archive and observe the mpegts demuxer output. Investigate whether the repeated "Packet corrupt" messages correspond to a real playback problem; done means identifying the root cause or defining a mitigation for the misleading logs.
