Convert M2P to MKV

Understanding m2p and mkv file formats

M2P files, also known as MPEG-2 Program Stream files, are commonly used for storing video and audio data, especially in DVD video discs. They are efficient for playback but lack support for advanced features like subtitles or multiple audio tracks.

MKV (Matroska Video) is a modern, open-source multimedia container format. It supports multiple video, audio, subtitle tracks, and rich metadata, making it popular for high-quality video storage and streaming.

Why convert m2p to mkv?

Converting m2p to mkv allows you to take advantage of MKV's advanced features, such as better compression, support for multiple audio and subtitle tracks, and improved compatibility with modern media players.
