If you want to concatenate mpeg streams, use "cat" (or "copy /b" on windows)

Sorry, I was under the impression you posted here because you expect
us to know more about it than you do.
Please ignore my answers if I misunderstood.

You are missing -map 0 but if you want to concatenate (and not
re-encode) than you should not use FFmpeg.

You cannot because the documentation is for a filter but you are using
a protocol (they - fortunately! - share a name, as does a demuxer).

Note that I am not suggesting you use the filter, for mpeg streams, you
should use the protocol, it is (much) simpler.
