•Type in "m3u8" in the filter on top right
•Start the video you want to see
•Click the gear icon on bottom right of video and select the quality you want (typically 1080) and you'll see a new m3u8 file appear
•Use this URL for the "-i" option of ffmpeg
The m3u8 file is a playlist that contains all those small files. Next, what you do is run this command, where URL is the m3u8 playlist file and output.ts is the name of the output video file:
ffmpeg.exe -i URL -c copy output.ts

That's what I'm doing. I was just hoping there was a way to avoid the time involved in getting all that video all over again. Oh well, I guess I'll just batch record them over the next few nights. I wonder how long the NBCOlympics site will continue to host those videos?
