Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Addition of support to convert to other popular video formats will provide flexiblity to the user.

Describe the solution you'd like expected behaviour if user wants the video output to be of type mkv:-

The command should look like this after addition of --convert support m3u8-dl <url-of-playlist> -c mkv on running it should output a .mkv file.

if no file type is specified default to mp4
