I'm trying to convert m3u8 to mp4 on a Mac. I have followed the instructions of a person who does it using VLC in Windows, however I can not find the option in the mac version. Media - Open Netw. Pavtube iMedia Converter for Mac v.4.8.6. Pavtube iMedia Converter for Mac is an all-inclusive converter to complete 2D/3D Blu-ray, DVD, ISO, Video to m3u8, HEVC MKV MP4 and do HEVC MKV to non-HEVC MKV conversion on Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite, 10.9 Mavericks, 10.8 Mountain Lion at one go. M3u8 free download - Mac Video Downloader, uTorrent, Apple Mac OS Update 8.6, and many more programs. M3u8 media player free download - VLC Media Player, Macgo Free Media Player, Adobe Media Player, and many more programs.
In this post, let’s talk about how to download and convert .m3u8 file to any other format such as TS, MP4, MOV with VLC player on Mac.
The steps are very straight forward, at the end of this page you will see a video to it, feel free to give it a watch and let me know if you have further questions!
Step 1. Open on Chrome, Right Click, Choose “Inspect“
Simply open the video url you’d like to download and convert with Chrome Browser, right click and choose “Inspect” option.
Step 2. Choose Network, Search “m3u8”
Under the new window just opened, pick the Network option then in the search box type “m3u8“.
If nothing shows up, simply refresh your page and it should be able to load right away.
Step 3. Copy m3u8 URL
M3u8 Downloader For Windows
Click ‘playlist.m3u8‘ in the search result, on the right hand side, you should see a long Request URL, copy this URL, we are almost done!
Step 4. Download VLC Player, Install, Open
VLC is great video player and packed with powerful tools, you can download it for FREE here.
Step 5. File – Open Network
Go to file on top menu, choose Open Network option, and in the new window, under URL section, paste the URL you copied earlier, check “Streaming/Saving” box and click on settings.
Step 6. Name your video, Pick file type
Under settings, give the video a name and choose a file type, I normally go with TS then convert to MP4 or MOV later, this prevents VLC from crashing during streaming and saving. When you’re done, click OK.
Step 7. Wait for the process to finish
At the bottom, you will see the process has begun, just wait for the bar to finish, this process depends on how long the video is, if it’s short, it will finish fast, if it’s a long video, you might have to wait for a while.
Once the process is done, your file is ready to go, in this case, I saved it on my desktop, so the TS file will be save on my desktop.
Step 8. Convert to Other Formats
You can either use the .TS file or use other tools to convert the file to any other formats such as MP4, MOV.
I use this tool called “iSkysoft Video Converter“, however, there are many other tools out there, simply pick the one you like and convert the file.

折腾:
期间,需要想办法去下载m3u8为单独的,比如mp4的视频文件
所以再去搜:
m3u8如何下载
M3u8 Download Mac Os
有各种下载器
后者用ffmpeg
“什么是 m3u8
说到 m3u8 就要先说说 HLS(HTTP Live Streaming)。HLS 是 Apple 公司针对 iPhone、iPod、iTouch 等移动设备,而研发的基于 HTTP 协议的流媒体解决方案。在 HLS 技术中,Web 服务器可以向客户端提供接近实时的音视频流,但是它又是使用的标准的 HTTP 协议。所以基本上,比较大型的点播直播类服务,都是基于 HLS 的。
而该技术的原理,就是将视频文件或者视频流,进行切片(ts文件),并建立索引文件(m3u8),它支持的视频流编码为 H.264,音频流编码为 AAC。
简单来说,基于 HLS 的视频流,会将完整的视频,切割成一个个比较小的视频片段(ts 文件),然后根据协议组合成一个 m3u8 文件。这些比较小的 ts 文件,是可以单独播放的。而视频播放器,拿到 m3u8 文件之后,根据对其内 ts 片段的索引,连续播放不同的视频片段,来达到流畅的播放效果。”

mac中去安装ffmpeg
然后去试试:
输出很多:
下载期间,速度很慢啊:
下载了好多分钟,才下载了4多分钟的视频:
最后终于下载完毕了。。。
结果是115MB的视频
的确够大。
【后记 2018-03-23】
后来遇到:
希望在输出的文件名中包含子文件夹,或者是完整路径。不知道具体写法。
M3u8 Player For Windows 10
猜测是直接放在双引号中即可。
M3u8 For Windows 7
但是还是去搜搜:
ffmpeg 指定输出路径
“路径中出现空格或其他空白符时,则需要用双引号把路径包括起来。

比如 “d:pathmy file.mp4””
的确是这个做法。
所以意思就是:
