Hi,

so normaly its not necessary to convert the format if your player can also play them.But if you want to convert it (custom and no KF cutting / editing etc) then you can do it too so for this there are tons of tools to find but in some or more cases sound & image lines aren't same anymore (image or sound running faster etc).Good tools are VirtualDub+Filters & FFmpeg (both free).

For the recording process you can also use free tools as livestreamer or and RtmpDump but both are commandline tools without GUI (or you do code a own GUI for both) so you got no easy handling with them so you have a difficult handling in that case but they are working with CB and MFC.A disadvantage for LS is that it need a long time till it starts to play or record a stream so here its better to use RD if possible if not then record over LS m3u8.

Anyway,whether CB or MFC so both stream in a very low quality (downstreaming) so this makes no fun if you can see the same streams at same time on other sites in real good quality.
