How to deal with movie downloaded but unplayable with VLC ( a solution other to convert it...)? #5

When i download on site like this one (one of many clone of them): afzor

The link for downloading is a .m3u8, like: http://168.119.116.79/hls/XXXXXXX.m3u8 The download it is very fast , i choose .mp4 as extension. But i can't open it in VLC (I try VLC 32bits and 64bits: same result).

So, i need to convert it and it's very long process. I use actually for the job: Any Video Converter And convert the movie with "SONY TV" or "Samsung TV" settings (File increase but the result is very good). After some test, this setting seems better (quality/size): Custom MP4: H264 / MP3 / bitrate 1024 (keep Ratio) + FFMeg / MP4

So it's possible to download directly the movie without all this process?

Here the file info of one my downloaded movie which can't be open in VLC. I notice particularly: FileExtension_invalid: ts m2tt m2s m4s tmf ts tp trp ty
