.f4m to .mp4

[fifalwt91]

hi, i'd like to convert a file i have in the .f4m format to mp4.
the link to the original video is down below the video WILL download in mp4, but then the picture will freeze then go black after about 10 seconds.

This is not really a "conversion" issue. The video is rather delivered in segments, and only "adept" video player plugins know to play them concatenated. And browser plugins like "Video DownloadHelper" for Mozilla Firefox also know to download them concatenated.

You can use the m3u8 manifest file's URL in livestreamer or youtube-dl:

https://tv4play-i.akamaihd.net/i/mp4root/2014-12-05/timeless_(3025301_,MP41800,MP41300...ndex_0_av.m3u8

Alternatively, you can download 29 .ts chunks and join them using 'copy' command in command line:

https://tv4play-i.akamaihd.net/i/mp4root/2014-12-05/timeless_(3025301_,MP41800,MP41300...gment1_0_av.ts

sudo curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl" i'm not sure where i do that
