Convert M2T to AVC

Understanding M2T and AVC file formats

The M2T file format, also known as MPEG-2 Transport Stream, is commonly used for storing video on digital video cameras and broadcasting. It is a container format that can hold multiple streams of video, audio, and data. On the other hand, the AVC file format, also known as Advanced Video Coding or H.264, is a popular video compression standard that provides high-quality video at lower bit rates. It is widely used for streaming, recording, and distribution of video content.

Why convert M2T to AVC?

Converting M2T files to AVC can be beneficial for several reasons. AVC files are more compatible with a variety of devices and platforms, offer better compression, and maintain high video quality. This makes them ideal for streaming and sharing videos online.
