An .M2TS file format is an MPEG-2 transport stream container format that is used to stream multiplexed audio, video, and other streams on the Blu-ray disc. The standard video compression format used in the .M2TS file format includes H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2, SMPTE VC-1 or H.
Files with the .MP4 extension contain audio and video streams encoded usually in the MPEG-4 format, but they are supported also by many other formats. It is a container – file, and it may also include metadata, subtitles or images, although it is rarely used for this purpose.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the M2TS file after converting to MP4 may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from M2TS to MP4 to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting M2TS to MP4 does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in M2TS format, properly converted to a MP4 file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file M2TS the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of M2TS file to other than MP4. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your M2TS file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to MP4 on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the M2TS file in its original format (without conversion to MP4 file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
