M2TS2TS(1)

💅 M2TS2TS(1) — the girlies' guide to converting .m2ts to .ts 🎀

okay so bestie, you've got a BDAV MPEG-2 Transport Stream file and you want it to be an ordinary TS file? say less. m2ts2ts is literally the girl for the job. it's a General Commands Manual situation, and we're gonna walk through it together, no cap. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

m2ts2ts [-err stdout] [-err stderr] [-verbose | -v] [-quiet | -q]
        [-buffer buf_pkts | -b buf_pkts] in_file | -stdin out_file |
        -stdout

like, that's the whole vibe check right there. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea: m2ts2ts converts BDAV MPEG-2 Transport Stream file (M2TS) into an 'ordinary' TS file. that's it, that's the whole main character moment. one format in, one format out, slay. ✨

📁 Files 📁

• in_file — this is your BDAV MPEG-2 Transport Stream file (M2TS). but wait, plot twist — see -stdin down below, because sometimes the input is coming from somewhere else entirely. 🙈
• out_file — this is your H.222 Transport Stream file. but also, plot twist again — see -stdout below, because sometimes the output goes somewhere else. 👑

🎀 General switches 🎀

these are the little toggles that change how the whole thing behaves. obsessed.

• -err stdout — write error messages to standard output. this is the default, so if you don't say anything, this is what you get. 💚
• -err stderr — write error messages to standard error. this is the Unix traditional way, iykyk. ✨
• -v, -verbose — output extra information. she's chatty, she's giving you the details, we love that for her. 💬
• -q, -quiet — only output error messages. she's in her mysterious era, minimal talking, just the important stuff. 🤫
• -stdin — input from standard input instead of a file. no in_file needed, she's reading from the stream. 🦋
• -stdout — output to standard output instead of a file. > heads up bestie: this one forces -quiet and -err stderr. it's not a suggestion, it's just what happens. 💀
• -b buf_pkts, -buffer buf_pkts — the number of TS packets to buffer for reordering. the default is 4. that's how many lil packets she's holding onto before reordering them, periodt. 🍓
