"too short" error with .ts files

[kstathem]

My satellite receiver (Geosatpro HD) splits its files at ~1GB. When I try to mux two or more sequential files, I get the too short error and the output file ends at the split.
I investigated with a hex editor and discovered that each file repeats the last 47KiB (exactly) of the previous file. After I removed one copy of this duplicate information and concatenated the two files, it works fine.
I've uploaded ~200kb on both sides of each split along with all the other files in the folder, at https://github.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/files/131921/ts.folder.zip

Confirm you're not using a fat32 device to record on, should be ntfs.
If you load the 1st .ts and avidemux asks to load the other sequential files: answer no.
append the remaining files manually.

see if that works.
seems this a known issue (Jan 7, 2013)

for developer(s): info3.dvr: identifies the stream as Ali file format 3.0

The USB stick is indeed ntfs. The drive that I am copying to is ext4.
i tried appending it manually and it then writes the file without error, but the output file is missing a half second or so at the split.
I also tried selecting the info3.dvr file (which worked for the guy in the thread you linked to) but Avidemux doesn't seem to recognize that filetype

You seemed to have missed the for developer(s). As far as I know avidemux does not work with Ali file format 3.0 Stream. Maybe it could if dev(s) see/find a solution, time giving.

Yes, I do seem to have missed that. Thanks for the clarification.
