Please come back and explain in a little more detail how you did this. I can get all the segments in a number of ways, but I haven't found any good way to cat them. How did you do it?
Can VLC cat the files from a playlist? (I gathered the some 3000 files it took to make up a 4 hour video using apowersoft's Streaming Video Recorder, but it can't join them yet - they're working on it)
I can get the URL pattern figured out very easily, but I don't have a good way to sequence thousands of them. I can open a URL in VLC, but I haven't successfully done it from the command line (I tried a batch file to deal with the very long URL).
