Concatenate streaming m3u8 ts files into mp4 with VLC player

Uh, this is considered a bad thing, and it is unwilling to infringe on intellectual property rights.

Streaming on the Internet usually reads a .m3u8 file, and then downloads the .ts video clips in sequence for playback, similar to the following.
