It is a duplicate from hisenc.c.  hisenc already has this "create
sub-directories" feature, but I needed it for the segment use case.
I made it static so that it would be treated as local to the .c file.
I don't know ffmpeg well enough to know how best to de-duplicate it.
I am happy to update my patch, if someone can give me a pointer as to what
to do.

Kind Regards
