You can use one of many separate utilities for segmenting TS:

https://github.com/johnf/m3u8-segmenter
http://www.ioncannon.net/programming/452/iphone-http-streaming-with-ffmpeg-and-an-open-source-segmenter/


Using the first one is simple:

ffmpeg <args> -f mpegts - \
  | m3u8-segmenter -i - -d 10 -p test -m test.m3u8 -u http://yourwebsite/path/

Cheers
