About formats

M2TS (MPEG-2 Transport Stream) is a container format used primarily for multiplexing audio, video, and other data on Blu-ray Disc media. The format is specified as part of the Blu-ray Disc Audio-Video (BDAV) standard developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association, with commercial Blu-ray products launching in 2006. M2TS files wrap content in MPEG-2 transport stream packets with an additional 4-byte timestamp header prepended to each 188-byte packet, resulting in 192-byte packets that enable more precise timing and error recovery during optical disc playback. This extended packet structure helps maintain synchronization when dealing with the variable read speeds inherent to disc-based media. M2TS supports the major Blu-ray video codecs including H.264/AVC, MPEG-2, and VC-1, alongside audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, and LPCM for lossless surround sound. The container is also used by AVCHD camcorders for recording high-definition footage, making it common in both consumer disc playback and video production workflows. M2TS files preserve chapter markers, subtitle streams, and interactive menu data within the transport stream. Reliable synchronization mechanisms and support for high-quality codecs make M2TS well-suited for archiving high-definition content where preserving full source quality is essential.
Initial release: 2006
FAP is a byte-swapped variant of the PAF (Paris Audio File) format associated with the Ensoniq PARIS digital audio workstation, a recording environment popular among project-studio engineers in the late 1990s. Where standard PAF stores sample data in big-endian order, FAP reverses the byte layout for little-endian architectures, enabling direct memory mapping on Intel-based processors without a runtime byte-swap penalty. The underlying payload is uncompressed linear PCM at up to 24-bit depth and 96 kHz sampling, preserving full studio-grade fidelity. Because there is no lossy coding stage, recordings survive unlimited edit cycles with zero generational loss — a critical property during tracking and mixing. The SoX command-line utility maintains read/write support for FAP, making it the most accessible tool for converting legacy PARIS sessions to modern formats. Despite its niche origins, FAP demonstrates solid engineering: the header is minimal and deterministic, eliminating ambiguity that sometimes plagues chunk-based containers. Advantages include bit-perfect audio preservation, fast I/O on x86 hardware due to native byte order, and straightforward interoperability with raw PCM tools.
