fmpeg

Do you need to convert the format from mpg to mp4 or m3u8 (HLS) cut, and can you also cut black edges?

Answer 1

1. mpg -> mp4 it's not clear what exactly you want, basically, what question is the answer:
ffmpeg -i in.mpeg out.mp4
will do everything for you.
For HLS you need to smoke:

2. black edges
If the dimensions are known, a filter will help crop:
