  1. Hi all. I downloaded what I presumed to be a M3U8 stream and got a 1.1GB file which is only playable through the Windows Media Player Legacy. I am trying to convert it to MP4 using FFMPEG using the following command "ffmpeg -i input -c copy output.mp4". It gives no errors and produces an 1.1GB MP4 file. This file is however not playable in VLC or any other video player. Ffprobe on the file outputs the following.

    Code:

    Any help making this file into a normal MP4 file is greatly appreciated thanks!
