Technical Quality Assessment
AVI Video's known limitation — large file sizes and lack of modern features like variable framerate — is resolved when converting to M2TS Video, which offers broadcast-grade quality used in Blu-ray authoring. The AVI Video source uses lossy encoding. The M2TS Video output uses lossy encoding. Since both share the same compression philosophy, quality transfer is highly efficient. Xonvert's conversion engine analyzes your AVI Video source and selects the optimal encoding strategy for M2TS Video output. Maximum file size of 2GB in original AVI (4GB with OpenDML extension) Supports H.264 AVC and H.265 HEVC codecs These implementation details are handled automatically by the converter.
Video format conversion from AVI Video to M2TS Video involves re-encoding or remuxing the video stream. Xonvert selects the most efficient encoding strategy — remuxing when possible (zero quality loss) and re-encoding with optimal parameters when the target format requires a different codec. Key factors include codec compatibility, resolution handling, and audio stream preservation.
Resolution handling: Your video's original resolution is preserved by default. You can optionally downscale in the settings panel to reduce file size — useful when preparing content for mobile viewing or web upload.
