ffmpeg -i input.m3u8 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc output.mp4

(or whatever your desired output container is)

Got it.
I guess you are right.
I'm running them through ffmpeg with the following bat file as it's so much easier:

@echo off
setlocal disableDelayedExpansion
::
:: first assume normal call, get args from %*
set args=%*
set "dragDrop="
::
:: Now check if drag&drop situation by looking for %0 in !cmdcmdline!
:: if found then set drag&drop flag and get args from !cmdcmdline!
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
set "cmd=!cmdcmdline!"
set "cmd2=!cmd:*%~f0=!"
if "!cmd2!" neq "!cmd!" (
  set dragDrop=1
  set "args=!cmd2:~0,-1! "
  set "args=!args:* =!"
)
::
:: Process the first argument only
for %%F in (!args!) do (
  if "!!"=="" endlocal & set "dragDrop=%dragDrop%"
  rem ------------------------------------------------
  rem - Your file processing starts here.
  rem - Use %%F wherever you would normally use %1
  rem
  rem Change to drive and directory of input file
  %%~dF
  cd %%~pF
  C:\Encoding\ffmpeg.exe -hwaccel dxva2 -i "%%~nxF" -threads 32 -vcodec copy -acodec copy "C:\Encoding\%%~nF output.mp4"

if defined dragDrop (
  pause
  exit
