Convert M2TS to OGV

Understanding M2TS and OGV file formats

The M2TS file format, or MPEG-2 Transport Stream, is commonly used for high-definition video on Blu-ray discs. It supports high-quality video and audio streams, making it ideal for professional video production and distribution. On the other hand, the OGV file format is a video container format that uses the Ogg Vorbis compression. It is widely used for streaming video content on the web due to its open-source nature and compatibility with various platforms.

How to convert M2TS to OGV

Converting M2TS to OGV involves changing the video container and compression format. This process can be done using various software tools that support both formats. The conversion allows you to utilize the OGV format's advantages, such as better compatibility with web browsers and open-source licensing.
