Convert PARTIAL to MP4

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert PARTIAL to MP4?
Yes - PARTIAL converts to MP4.

Not a conversion - a .partial of a video already IS an MP4, just truncated. If the download actually finished (size matches), rename away the .partial suffix. If incomplete, resume or re-download; VLC can play the portion that arrived, but no tool can recreate the missing bytes. DB lists partial->mp4 with software_count 0 - correct, it's a rename-or-resume guide, not a real conversion.

Also to MP4: AVCHD · USM · MXF
