Its simple MPEG2 video, you can store it in most containers available. MPEG-PS (.mpg/.vob) is one of the options, and it contains full timestamps which makes duration and seeking much easier. Of course you can also go with MKV or MP4 if you want.
The main problem with raw video (without a container around it) is that you can't know how many frames a file contains without counting them (or if you have CBR), so anything you try will be guesswork, accuracy depending on how much data/effort you put into it.
