Some websites are streaming video using mpeg dash.
As a result when one is examining such webpage using a Webmaster Development tools/console (part of a web browser like Firefox, Chrome) then he/she can see elements:

something.mpd
1.m4s
2.m4s
4.m4s

No software wanted to download such a video, but i got advises and found 2 software being able to download what i wanted. But these software are not universal, it works to download only from certain websites - but supports hundreds of sites.
