TSmuxer/SEI error?

Author

I'm desperate for some help on this. I have about 60 files that are just sitting on my PC that I can't burn because of this error.

I'm having a ton of problems with some files that I have. They were originally captured with my Hauppauge HD PVR and then edited with VRD. Once I author my Blu-ray with MultiAVCHD, I get a files that "jump" (for lack of a better word) a second or two after they start. It's not huge but it's about 2-3 frames, I would say.
When I ran them through tsmuxer, I got an error that said "Bad SEI detected. SEI too short." If I select "Do Not Change SEI," it processes fine but the jump is still there.
Is there any way to fix this? Is re-encoding the only option? Since MultiAVChd uses tsmuxer to create the discs, this anomaly is there on all of them.
The odd thing is that I've done nothing different with these files than I normally do when recording. Is this something that VRD entered into the equation? Or is there any chance of it fixing it?

Here's an example of one of the files:

OK so I was just able to reproduce the error. It *IS* definitely a problem in videoredo. It's not a problem with the master file.

I've uploaded both the original recording and the edit and the errors are introduced AFTER videoredo.

And to see the (slight) jerkiness that I'm talking about, here's a smaller clip: https://mega.co.nz/#!xd9XhZqI!i7Jla3gWY83qmxnISZTg1z9Ucn9kHAAvOgyXYguq8Uw

And, to be clear, this has happened with various versions of VRD. It's not just one. The files that I initially noticed this on were recorded several years ago. The files I uploaded were recorded today.
