Frequently asked questions
Will I lose quality converting M2TS to AVI?
Yes - the video is re-encoded, not remuxed, so some quality change is unavoidable. Using a high-quality preset in HandBrake (RF 18-22) keeps the result close to the original.
Can I convert 4K M2TS to AVI?
Technically yes, but most AVI players and editors cannot handle HEVC inside AVI. Re-encode to H.264 - HandBrake does this by default.
Why is my converted AVI larger than the original M2TS?
AVI is a less efficient container than MPEG-TS, and re-encoding at a high-quality bitrate adds size. MP4 produces smaller files for the same visual quality.
Is there a free way to convert M2TS to AVI on Mac?
Yes - HandBrake is free and runs on macOS, or you can use FFmpeg from the command line via Homebrew.
