MP4 to M3U8 conversion FAQ

  • What's the difference between M3U8 and regular MP4 files?

    M3U8 isn't actually a video file but a playlist file used in HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) technology. When you "convert" MP4 to M3U8, you're creating a streaming package consisting of an M3U8 playlist file that points to multiple small video segments (typically in .ts format). This structure enables adaptive streaming - viewers automatically receive the appropriate quality level for their connection speed. It's fundamentally different from a single MP4 file and represents a transition from traditional download-style video to modern streaming architecture.
