With the development of science and technology, more and more new things appear in our daily life. As a video fan, I heard a lot of people say that there are so many video formats which are not accepted by their players. They need a tool to change the video format. But nothing is available. Now I share a website which can offer some practical tools for video fans to convert videos. (http://www.4videosoft.com/)
I had tried a tool called M2TS Converter. It can convert MTS, TS, HD MPG, HD MPEG, HD MP4, HD WMV, QuickTime HD MOV, HD H.264, HD RM and other SD(Standard-Definition) videos to what you need video formats. I will show everyone how I use it. Maybe it will be helpful to you when you need use such kind of tools.
Before the article, I would share general knowledge about M2TS file.
The .m2ts is a container file format for multiplexing audio, video and other streams. It is based on the MPEG-2 transport stream container and is also known as BDAV MPEG-2 transport stream. This format is commonly used for high definition video. The M2TS container with filename extension .MTS or .m2ts is also used in AVCHD format, which is a high definition digital video camera recorder format. AVCHD is a simpler form of the Blu-ray Video standard with just one video encoding algorithm and two audio encodings. Compared to Blu-ray Video format, AVCHD can use various storage media, such as DVD media, memory cards or hard disk drives. The M2TS container contains videos recorded using AVCHD camcorders, such as the Sony's HDR-SR(xx)series models. Panasonic, Canon and other brands of AVCHD camcorders also store recorded video in M2TS container format. There are some problems with AVCHD compatibility between brands. The M2TS container format used on Blu-ray discs can contain one of the three mandatory supported video compression formats MPEG-2 Part 2, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC or SMPTE VC-1 and audio compression formats such as Dolby Digital, DTS or uncompressed Linear PCM. Optionally supported audio formats are Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio and Dolby Lossless. The M2TS container format used on an AVCHD equipment is more restricted and can contain only H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video compression and Dolby Digital (AC-3) audio compression or uncompressed LPCM audio.
