That pipeline you provided will produce an MPEG2 video elementary
stream, not anything that is inside any container like MPEG PS or MPEG
TS. Is that what you want? IIRC the MPEG2 elementary stream does not
contain any time information at all.

And you mpv output contains a mention about mpegts. How are you muxing
the MPEG2 video elementary stream into MPEG TS?
