What to expect
- The MPEG source is placed into a Blu-ray-style MPEG-2 transport stream; where codecs must change, the video is re-encoded and the result is lossy.
- M2TS is passive video data with no scripting; VLC plays it without shady codec packs.
- The output suits Blu-ray/AVCHD players and authoring, rather than everyday general-purpose sharing.
Frequently asked questions
What quality can I expect from MPG converted to M2TS?
M2TS is the Blu-ray/AVCHD BDAV transport-stream container, typically carrying H.264, VC-1, or MPEG-2 video. ffmpeg re-encodes or remuxes the MPEG source into that stream, and any re-encode is lossy.
Why convert MPG to M2TS?
M2TS is the format used on Blu-ray discs and by AVCHD camcorders, sitting in the BDMV\STREAM folder as numbered clips. It is chosen for compatibility with Blu-ray authoring or players that expect transport streams.
Where does an M2TS file play?
VLC plays M2TS for free on Windows, macOS, and Linux with no extra codecs. Blu-ray and AVCHD-aware players and TVs also handle it.
What is lost going to M2TS?
If the video is re-encoded to fit the container's codecs, some detail is discarded. The transport-stream packaging adds overhead but no fidelity beyond what the MPG provided.
