Conversion Quality Deep Dive
Originally for Sun Microsystems workstations MPEG-2 Transport Stream with Blu-ray extensions These technical characteristics influence how quality is preserved during conversion. For audio-to-video conversions, Xonvert applies format-aware algorithms that respect the unique characteristics of both AU Audio and M2TS Video. Cross-category conversions require additional adaptation, which Xonvert handles automatically. Sample rate and bit depth are preserved during conversion. If the target format has limitations, Xonvert downsamples using high-quality dithering algorithms.
Converting AU Audio audio to M2TS Video video creates a video file with a static visual (typically a black frame or waveform visualization) and your audio track. This is commonly used for uploading music to video-only platforms like YouTube, creating visualizer content, or embedding audio in video projects.
Compression trade-off: Your lossless AU source retains all original data. Converting to lossy M2TS will reduce file size substantially, but some data is permanently discarded. Use the quality slider to balance file size against fidelity.
