I want to specify a duration for example 4 min when using ffmpeg but i keep getting error:

ffmpeg -i "./test.m3u8" -t 04:00 "output.mp4"

and error i get is this:

Invalid duration specification for t: 04:00

also these warnings in yellow color:

max_analyze_duration 5000000 reached at 5014800
 Could not find codec parameters (Video: h264 (

 Could not find codec parameters (Video: h264 (

From the documentation:

duration may be a number in seconds, or in hh:mm:ss[.xxx] form.

Your form is mm:ss, so it's simply not valid. Which is also what the error message says.

Use -t 00:04:00 or -t 240 instead.
