Absolute timestamps don't exist in an MPEG-PS. The best that can be determined is frame order and 
frame rate from which absolute timestamps can be calculated.

You want to remux video and transcode audio.

Ignorance can be cured. The cure is called "learning".
Arrogance can be cured. The cure is called "humbling".
Curing arrogant ignorance requires more.
It requires a personality transplant and is best accomplished after the subject has been removed
