How to convert M4V to M2TS

What to expect

  • DRM-protected .m4v files purchased from the iTunes Store cannot be converted by any tool - the file will simply not open.
  • Video quality is unchanged when the H.264 stream is remuxed without re-encoding; converting the AAC audio track to AC-3 is lossy but usually inaudible at 448 kbps.
  • .m2ts files carry transport-stream overhead and will be slightly larger than the source .m4v for identical content.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert an iTunes Store movie from M4V to M2TS?
No. iTunes Store .m4v files are protected by Apple FairPlay DRM, which prevents any conversion tool from reading them.
Will converting M4V to M2TS reduce video quality?
Not when stream copy is used - the H.264 video bitstream is moved into the new container without re-encoding. Only an audio transcode to AC-3 introduces any quality change.
Does M2TS play on regular media players and TVs?
Some smart TVs and software players support .m2ts, but it is not universal. For general playback, .mp4 or .mkv is the safer choice.
What is the difference between .mts and .m2ts?
Both use MPEG-2 Transport Stream. .mts is used by AVCHD camcorders; .m2ts is the Blu-ray BDAV variant - most tools handle them interchangeably.
