If I don't use it, e.g.

ffmpeg -y -i tmp/tmpPass2.mp4 -c:v libx264 -acodec copy -map 0 -f
segment -segment_time 5 -segment_format mpegts
./tsSegmentsDisplay/SRC04_Q1_%05d.ts

I get:

[mpegts @ 0x41437e0] H.264 bitstream malformed, no startcode found,
use the h264_mp4toannexb bitstream filter (-bsf h264_mp4toannexb)
