(i.e. from UHF broadcasts rather than iplayer). I don't know the specifics of your case but can make two points that may help. 1) It may depend on the software you use to play the files. (This means the version of the software and its settings as well as the type.) I use VLC. Changing its settings can affect this. I can't recall off-hand what setting I got to fix a similar problem, and am busy now, so may report that later. 2) You may find that simply passing the file though ffmpeg or avconv adds in sequential timestamps. i.e. using ffmpeg -i infile.<ext> cleanfile.<ext> ffmpeg will tend to clear up and tidy a stream or file. Note that sometimes I've found that one version of ffmpeg/avconv did the trick, but another didn't. (This is one reason I tend to keep more than one version to hand!)
