What the OGV format is
OGV is an Ogg-based video container most commonly storing Theora video with Vorbis audio; some files use other Ogg-compatible codecs. It appears in open-source media projects, older HTML5 video workflows, screen recordings, and exports from tools such as FFmpeg, VLC, and some Linux video editors.
OGV is less widely supported by hardware players and professional video equipment than MPEG-2 transport streams, so playback or camera-editing software may require conversion.
What the M2T format is
M2T is the common filename extension for an MPEG-2 transport stream, especially HDV recordings from tape-based HD cameras. The stream typically contains MPEG-2 video and MPEG audio, with transport-stream packetization that supports transmission and camera-oriented recording.
M2T is useful when an editor, capture application, camera utility, or broadcast workflow specifically expects HDV or MPEG-2 transport-stream input. The format is more hardware-compatible in those workflows, but it is not a smaller or more modern format than OGV: MPEG-2 encoding can produce a large file.
How to convert OGV to M2T
FFmpeg provides the most controllable desktop conversion. Install a current FFmpeg build, open a terminal in the folder containing the source file, and run:
ffmpeg -i input.ogv -c:v mpeg2video -b:v 15M -c:a mp2 -b:a 192k -ar 48000 -f mpegts output.m2tThis decodes the OGV video and audio, encodes MPEG-2 video and MPEG audio, sets a 48 kHz audio rate, and writes an MPEG transport stream. Replace input.ogv and output.m2t with the actual filenames.
For an HDV-oriented target, use parameters matching the receiving device or editor. A common 1080i HDV-style command is:
ffmpeg -i input.ogv -vf scale=1440:1080 -r 25 -c:v mpeg2video -b:v 25M -minrate 25M -maxrate 25M -bufsize 1780k -pix_fmt yuv420p -flags +ildct+ilme -top 1 -c:a mp2 -b:a 384k -ar 48000 -f mpegts output.m2tDo not use that preset without checking the required frame rate, scan mode, frame size, and audio settings. NTSC-oriented workflows may require 29.97 or 59.94 frames per second instead of 25, and some devices require 1440×1080 rather than 1920×1080.
For a graphical workflow, import the OGV into a desktop editor that supports MPEG-2 transport-stream export, choose File → Export, select MPEG-2 transport stream or HDV if available, set the required video and audio parameters, and save with the .m2t extension. Merely renaming .ogv to .m2t does not convert the file.
You can also use the free converter on 101convert.com without installing software. Select the OGV file, choose M2T as the output format, start the conversion, and download the generated file.
Quality, compatibility, and limitations
The conversion is normally lossy twice: the original OGV is decoded, then re-encoded as MPEG-2. Preserve the original OGV, and use a sufficiently high MPEG-2 bitrate; increasing bitrate cannot restore detail already lost in the source.
An .m2t extension does not guarantee HDV compliance. Some applications accept any MPEG-2 transport stream, while camera and broadcast tools may require exact HDV combinations of resolution, interlacing, frame rate, bitrate, GOP structure, audio codec, and sample rate. Test the result in the intended application before deleting the source.
