Is there some way to let ffmpeg write the mpeg or ts stream to disk and then
immediately feed it to itself as an input to create the mp4?
The "keep it simple" principle applies-
Unless disk space is a big issue and you need the output immediately after
recording, use a temp file for this and convert after the download*
completes (as driven by your script). It'll be much easier all around and
more tolerant of errors. If you choose to re-encode while downloading, you
can run into the problem that the re-encoder catches up to the download and
ends (the circular buffer problem).
*if saving in the downloaded codec, there's no added conversion overhead or
quality loss.
Later,
