I'm using Simple.tv, which records OTA TV as MPEG4, but in 3 different HLS streams. They classify these as "Good", "Better" and "Best". I only choose "Best", which is a 1080p MPEG4 HLS file with AAC audio. I can play this on my PC with VLC, MPC-HC, etc., but not in media players, XBMC, etc.
Is there a way to losslessly convert a HLS MP4 file to standard MP4?
Here's MediaInfo for a sample HLS video...
