pbs has been using m3u8, help with this, please

[chanc]

about two months ago, pbs began to use m3u8 , so rtmpdump won't work on it any more.
please help with this link :

1.Could ffmpeg be used to catch the video ?
2. could the output be saved as .mp4 other than .ts ?

Thanks in advance.

I also manged to download .ts segments, using "Download Helper", but you'll have to re-assemble all the segments together

I'm sure someone here can suggest a better way to download the entire video

Cheers!

Edit: Looks like hasomaso beat me to it

Thank you very much for showing me the code to use .
It looks puzzling to me here :

 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc test.mp4
