Both containers can carry H.264, so this conversion is largely a container change rather than a full re-encode. That keeps quality intact and makes it fast.
One practical gain here: TS is streaming-friendly, so the converted file begins playing while it is still downloading.
Expect the bitrate to move from roughly 28 Mbps to about 15 Mbps at 1080p, and file size to follow.
Chapter markers are not preserved, since TS has no chapter structure.
TS dates from 1995 and is not natively supported by modern browsers, so plan on a desktop media player for playback.
Converting M2TS to TS moves the video from the BDAV MPEG-2 Transport Stream container, introduced in 2006, into MPEG-2 Transport Stream, which arrived in 1995. Whether the picture is re-encoded or copied across depends on the codecs both containers accept.
Developed by Blu-ray Disc Association in 2006, M2TS carries H.264, MPEG-2, or VC-1 video and AC-3, DTS, or LPCM audio. That combination sets the upper bound on what any conversion can preserve.
TS was introduced by MPEG in 1995. It carries MPEG-2, H.264, or H.265 video with AAC, AC-3, or MP2 audio and plays natively on smart TVs.
