Frequently asked questions
What is the result of converting AVI to M2TS?
M2TS is the Blu-ray/AVCHD MPEG-2 Transport Stream container, so the AVI video is re-encoded to a supported codec such as H.264 or MPEG-2 with compatible audio. The step is lossy.
Why convert an AVI to M2TS?
M2TS is the format used on Blu-ray discs and by AVCHD camcorders, so it suits authoring to or matching that ecosystem, where clips sit in the BDMV\STREAM folder as numbered files.
Where does an M2TS file open?
It plays free in VLC on Windows, macOS and Linux with no extra codec packs, and on Blu-ray and AVCHD-aware hardware.
What should I watch for in the output?
Blu-ray-style containers expect specific codec, resolution and audio combinations; a source that does not match may be re-encoded more heavily. Transport-stream timing differs from AVI, so exact stream layout is not preserved.
