Convert F4F File to All Popular Video Formats on Mac

Overview of F4F Files:

The fact is that, not many people know about the F4F Files. By googling, we know that F4F is, in fact, Adobe's fragmented MP4 or FLV file format for HTTP Dynamic Streaming. It is noteworthy that the F4F is not a common video format, hence, it cannot be supported by lots of popular media players, handheld devices or editing software.

Problems of F4F Files:

1. How can i join and convert F4F files on Mac? Or a capture application would be good what is capable of downloading and converting these videos (from a news site). I tried many downloader-converter apps and toolbars, but few of them could download, and even, none of them could convert (convert failed).

2. Anyone knows how I can convert a .f4f file back a regular file such as a .mp4 on Mac? On my Adobe Server I have a live DVR functionality setup, and in the applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\ path I have .f4f files that's been cached that I would like to convert back a .mp4 for archival purposes.---WallyWestKF from Adobe community
