That means exactly what it says: That your file is not starting with 
a Transport Stream 'sync byte' (0x47), presumably because it begins 
in the middle of a Transport Stream packet.

If you make sure that your encoder's output begins with the start of 
a 188-byte Transport Stream packet (i.e., beginning with a sync byte 
(0x47)), then you probably won't have this problem.
