Frequently asked questions
Why is there no sound after converting AVI to M2V?
M2V is a raw MPEG-2 video elementary stream that holds video only, so the audio track is dropped by design. Silent playback is expected, not a broken file.
What quality can I expect from the video?
The video is re-encoded to the MPEG-2 standard, which is lossy; detail approaches the source at a high bitrate but cannot improve on it. MPEG-2 is an ISO/IEC standard used for DVDs.
Why convert AVI to M2V?
M2V provides a plain MPEG-2 video stream for authoring pipelines, such as DVD and multiplexing tools that combine a separate video and audio elementary stream.
Where does an M2V file open?
VLC plays it and handles the missing audio gracefully. Many everyday players expect a full container with audio, so support is narrower than for complete video files.
