Frequently asked questions
Will quality drop when converting M2TS to MPG?
Yes. MPG is the same MPEG-1/MPEG-2 format as MPEG, an older and less efficient codec than Blu-ray's H.264/VC-1. The video is re-encoded, so detail is reduced unless you use a high bitrate, which enlarges the file.
Why convert M2TS to MPG?
MPG (MPEG-1/MPEG-2) is the format of DVDs, Video CDs, and recorded TV, supported by a huge range of older players. Converting suits situations where that established format is required rather than a transport stream.
Is MPG the same as MPEG?
Yes.
.mpg and .mpeg are just two spellings of the same MPEG-1/MPEG-2 video format; there is no difference in the underlying file.What is lost from the M2TS source?
The efficient H.264/VC-1 video becomes older MPEG video, trading size for quality, and multichannel Dolby/DTS audio may be reduced. Transport-stream metadata and additional streams typically do not survive into the program stream.
