Frequently asked questions
How is quality affected converting M2TS to M4V?
M4V is an MP4-family container with H.264 video. If the M2TS video is already H.264 it may transfer with little loss; otherwise it is re-encoded to H.264, which is lossy. Audio is typically converted to AAC.
Why convert M2TS to M4V?
M4V is Apple's video container used by iTunes and the Apple TV app, so it fits cleanly into the Apple ecosystem for movies and TV-style content. It makes Blu-ray or AVCHD footage more at home on Apple devices.
Where does an M4V file open?
Non-DRM M4V files play in VLC, Windows Media Player, and QuickTime, as well as Apple's own apps. The conversion output here is a plain, unprotected M4V, so it is not tied to any Apple ID.
What is lost from the M2TS?
Blu-ray multichannel Dolby/DTS audio is usually re-encoded to AAC, which can reduce channels, and non-H.264 video must be recompressed. Transport-stream metadata and some extra streams may not carry over.
