Your command is completely incorrect  The output format is not rawvideo and you don t need the bitstream filter h264 mp4toannexb which is used when you want to convert the h264 contained in an mp4 to the Annex B format used by MPEG-TS for example  What you want to use instead is the aac adtstoasc for the AAC streams   ffmpeg -i http       playlist m3u8 -c copy -bsf a aac adtstoasc output mp4
