I have a bunch of ts segments locally, with the corresponding m3u8 playlist. Now, I would like to reassemble the mp4 file, losslessly.

I tried using ffmpeg, but I don't understand:

  1. The difference between https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Concatenate and Unix's cat
  2. The difference between Concatenate ts files before and running ffmpeg -i "playlist.m3u8" -c copy out.mp4 directly on playlist

Which is the correct way to perform this task?

Thanks

Either give ffmpeg the m3u8 without concatenation, or concatenate and give ffmpeg the resulting .ts. Both methods will produce the same result. Do whatever is easier for you
