Technical Quality Assessment
M2TS Video already discards some data during compression. Converting to AVI Video applies its own compression algorithm, which may introduce minor artifacts at very low quality settings. Xonvert selects parameters that maximize quality for the target format. For professional use, quality assurance is critical. Xonvert's M2TS Video to AVI Video pipeline has been tested against reference implementations to ensure output meets video industry standards. Real-world quality depends on three factors: source file quality, format capabilities, and encoder settings. Xonvert optimizes the third factor automatically, but starting with the best possible M2TS Video source always yields the best AVI Video output.
Video format conversion from M2TS Video to AVI 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.
