So that's "MPEG-2 Transport Stream" as in H.222.0 (which, unfortunately, is also an ISO standard, so you have to pay 
money for it...)?

If so, would each packet in the file be a "transport packet", in the form as shown in Table 2-2 of section 2.4.3.2 
"Transport Stream packet layer" of H.222.0 (2006-05)?

If so, is the sync byte the first byte, or is the 16-bit field containing the transport_error_indicator, 
payload_unit_start_indicator, transport_priority, and PID at the beginning of the packet in the file?  (Presumably in 
big-endian order, as "uimsbf" means "unsigned integer, most-significant bit first".)-
