PBS .TS Files

[blimey]

PBS changed their stream method since I last used it, for example:

http://video.pbs.org/video/2365090097/

The above link sends 318 .TS files.

I concatenated them all together and then remuxed to mp4, and it works ok, but I'm wondering if there is any method to automate this, or if there is a single file link on the pbs server that I'm somehow missing.

Dear Mr. Chap, once I get this playlist file how exactly can you automate the copying of all the MPEG-Transport Stream file fragments

Thank You

You just use ffmpeg

ffmpeg -i "url to .m3u8 file" -c copy output.ts
