How can I Join and Convert F4F Files?

I have downloaded some F4F files from a news site. But VLC player and the Flash player cannot open them. I Googled and found these information:

• F4F is Adobe's fragmented MP4 file format for HTTP Dynamic Streaming.
• A tool called F4F Packager could convert an F4V file to several F4F files and a manifest file(F4M).

Tried some downloader apps and toolbars, but few of them could handle such F4F files. Some screen capture tools is capable of recording the F4F streaming. However i prefer to downloading the original video to keep the quality. Finally, i tried a tool that i installed to download YouTube videos- Bigasoft Video Downloader Pro and got a upgrade window. It is excited to find they add a new F4F Merge panel and it works!

Then i read the upgrade info and it seems new Video Downloader Pro is capable of downloading F4F streaming directly! So there is no need to use other toolbars to rip F4F fragments. Tried Midici, NBC, NBCSports, Francetv, CTVnews, all works. Nice tool!

Something about Apple audio file formats

I always hear about someone couldn't play some audio on Mac. So in this article, I'd like to show which format is Apple defined and how to play other audio files on Mac.

There are three audio formats defined by Apple:

• AIFF is used to store uncompressed audio data.
• CAF is used in Apple QuickTime, iTunes and other media player and creator.
• M4A same as MOV, but only contains audio stream.

All of the above audio format files can be played or edited well on iTunes, Quicktime player, FCP, iMovie, etc. Another popular audio format which can be played by almost all players on both Mac and Windows is MP3. MP3 (MPEG-1 Layer 3) defined by ISO-MPEH consists of a raw audio stream compressed in MP3 codec and an optional ID3 tag at the begin or end of the file.

How to solve can't recognise MP4 files for Plex Media Manager?

I googled such issue and summed up the solutions.

Firstly, make sure you've added the directory to your library and updated it. Then  try to rename the MP4 files so they have simpler names (e.g. Series - S01E01 - Episode Name) or make a new library or pick Other or Personal Media and put the MP4 TV shows in there.

If it does not help, more than likely it is a permission problem. Or Codec issue. According Plex official websites, native video support is typically limited to the MP4 container, H.264 video encoding, and AAC audio. So come MP4 files which contain other codecs may not be streamed well. So you need an audio re-encoder tool to help you make the codec right. Downloaded Bigasoft Total Video Converter and worked.

My problem has been solved. The detailed guide i found is http://www.bigasoft.com/articles/plex-mp4-recognizing-problem.html
