Because WMV supports VC-1 just like M2TS does, the video stream can be carried across without a quality-costing re-encode.
Embedded subtitle tracks will be lost. M2TS can carry them inside the file; WMV has no place to store them, so export them separately first if you need them.
Only one audio track will be kept. M2TS can hold several, for example alternate languages, but WMV supports a single track.
Anything above hd will be downscaled, because that is the practical ceiling for WMV where M2TS reaches uhd4k.
WMV is built for streaming and progressive download, so the result starts playing before it has fully loaded, which the source format does not do well.
This page converts M2TS files, stored in the BDAV MPEG-2 Transport Stream container since 2006, into WMV, which uses ASF and dates from 1999. The differences between the two containers decide what changes in the result.
M2TS comes from Blu-ray Disc Association and dates to 2006. It carries H.264, MPEG-2, VC-1, which is what determines the quality ceiling of anything you convert out of it.
WMV was introduced by Microsoft in 1999. It carries WMV9, VC-1 and has native playback on 1 of six platform categories, which is the practical reason to choose it as a target.
After converting your file, you can use Scriptivox transcription services to convert your audio to text. Perfect for meetings, interviews, podcasts, and more.
