- Pick a quality: 1080p, 720p, 480p, 360p or the SD quick file, depending on what the video has.

What each part means
Container. An MP4 file is a container: a wrapper that holds a video track and an audio track together, with the timing that keeps them in sync. The .mp4 ending tells your device what kind of file it is.
Codec. A codec is the method used to compress the picture or the sound. H.264 is the video codec and AAC is the audio codec. Both are standard formats that devices have supported for many years.
Resolution. The size of the picture in pixels, given by its height: 1080p is 1080 pixels tall. The size of each quality is covered in 1080p downloads and file sizes.
Why there is no re-encoding
The HD qualities come from an HLS stream: the video site sends the video as many short pieces listed in a playlist. Your browser fetches those pieces straight from the video site's own servers and joins them into one MP4 file. The H.264 video and AAC audio inside the pieces are copied as they are, not converted.
Re-encoding means decoding the video and compressing it again. It takes time and loses some detail every time. Copying skips that, so the picture in your file is the same quality as the stream the site plays, and no watermark is added.
The SD quick file is already a single MP4, the one the site's player uses at standard definition, so it saves as one file with no joining step.
None of this runs on our server. The video never passes through it, and we do not store videos.
No converter needed
Because the file is already an MP4 with H.264 and AAC, you do not need a converter app or any extra step. Running it through a converter would re-encode it and lower the quality for no gain.
If a program you use asks for a different format, convert a copy and keep the original MP4 as it is.
Player compatibility
H.264 video with AAC audio in an MP4 container is one of the most widely supported video formats. In practice:
| Device or program | Plays the MP4? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 10 and 11 | Yes | Opens in the built-in Media Player or Movies & TV app |
| macOS | Yes | Opens in QuickTime Player |
| Linux | Usually | VLC and most desktop players; some distributions need an extra H.264 codec package |
| iPhone and iPad | Yes | Plays in Files; Share > Save Video puts it in Photos |
| Android | Yes | Plays in Files, Gallery or Google Photos |
| Smart TVs | Usually | Most play H.264 MP4 from a USB drive or a home media server |
| Video editors | Usually | Common editors import H.264 MP4 directly |
Where the file ends up depends on your device. On iPhone and iPad it goes to Files > Downloads (see saving on iPhone); on Android, Chrome puts it in the Download folder (see saving on Android).

FAQ
Do I need to convert the file to MP4?
No. It is already an MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio, so it plays in common players as it is.
Does the MP4 have sound?
Yes. The audio is AAC and sits in the same MP4 file as the video.
Is the video re-encoded?
No. The stream pieces are joined into an MP4 without re-encoding, so the picture is the same quality as the stream the site plays.
Will the MP4 play on my TV?
Most TVs that play videos from a USB drive or a home media server handle H.264 MP4. If yours does not open it, check the formats listed in its manual.
