What to expect
- M2TS is a Blu-ray/AVCHD transport-stream container; fitting F4V into it may re-encode audio or video and is lossy where it does.
- F4V container metadata does not carry over; the conversion preserves the picture and sound.
- Transport-stream packaging can make the M2TS larger than the source F4V.
Frequently asked questions
How does quality hold up from F4V to M2TS?
M2TS is the Blu-ray/AVCHD transport-stream format and commonly carries H.264, so an F4V's H.264 video may convert with modest change while audio is often re-multiplexed or re-encoded. Any re-encode is lossy, so quality stays at or just below the source.
Why convert F4V to M2TS?
F4V is an Adobe Flash-era container with little modern use, while M2TS is the stream format used on Blu-ray discs and AVCHD camcorders. Converting is useful for workflows and players that expect the Blu-ray transport stream.
What plays an M2TS file?
The free VLC media player opens M2TS on any platform. On a Blu-ray it lives in the BDMV\STREAM folder as numbered clips, and many media players and TVs that support Blu-ray/AVCHD handle it.
What is lost converting to M2TS?
Flash-era F4V container metadata is dropped, and any re-encode to fit the transport-stream profile softens detail. M2TS is a transport-stream wrapper, so the output can be larger than the compact F4V source.
