Because M2TS supports H.264 just like F4V does, the video stream can be carried across without a quality-costing re-encode.
At 1080p, F4V typically runs around 6 Mbps while M2TS sits near 28 Mbps, which is the main driver of the size difference you will see.
This is an older container, introduced in 2006, and browsers will not play it directly. It is best suited to archival or a dedicated player.
This page converts F4V files, stored in the Flash MP4 container since 2007, into M2TS, which uses BDAV MPEG-2 Transport Stream and dates from 2006. The differences between the two containers decide what changes in the result.
F4V comes from Adobe and dates to 2007. It carries H.264, which is what determines the quality ceiling of anything you convert out of it.
M2TS was introduced by Blu-ray Disc Association in 2006. It carries H.264, MPEG-2, VC-1 and has native playback on 0 of six platform categories, which is the practical reason to choose it as a target.
