M2TS to FLAC Converter
Extract lossless FLAC audio from M2TS Blu-ray video
m2ts
flac
Settings
Auto (No change)
Set the number of audio channels. This setting is most useful when downmixing channels (e.g., from 5.1 to stereo).
Auto (No change)
Set the sample rate of the audio. Music with a full spectrum (20 Hz — 20 kHz) requires values not lower than 44.1 kHz to achieve transparency. More info can be found on the wiki.
No change
Adjust the audio volume by selecting a number of decibels. For example, -10 dB decreases the volume by 10 decibels.
m2ts
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.

flac
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) delivers mathematically perfect audio reproduction at roughly half the size of an uncompressed WAV file. Maintained by the Xiph.Org Foundation and released in 2001, it quickly became the de facto open standard for lossless music archival. The encoder applies linear prediction to model each audio block, then codes the residual through Rice partitioning — exploiting the statistical distribution of prediction errors for strong compression without discarding data. Bit depths up to 32 and sample rates up to 655 kHz are supported, exceeding the requirements of high-resolution recordings. Hardware support is extensive: smartphones, car stereos, Blu-ray players, and virtually every desktop media application decode FLAC natively. Streaming services such as Tidal and Amazon Music use FLAC for lossless tiers, underscoring industry trust in the codec. Three standout benefits make FLAC compelling. First, complete bit-for-bit restoration of the original signal upon decoding. Second, embedded metadata via Vorbis comments and album art keeps libraries organized without sidecar files. Third, open-source licensing means no patents or royalties, removing legal friction for developers and hardware vendors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert M2TS to FLAC?
FLAC preserves audio quality without any loss while compressing the file — smaller than WAV yet bit-for-bit identical in sound.
What plays FLAC files?
VLC, foobar2000, Winamp, most Android devices, and many modern car stereos support FLAC playback. Apple devices need a third-party app.
How does FLAC compare to MP3?
FLAC is lossless — it retains every detail of the original audio. MP3 discards some data to achieve smaller files at the cost of fidelity.
Will multichannel audio be kept?
FLAC supports multichannel audio. Surround sound tracks from your M2TS Blu-ray source are preserved in the FLAC output.
How big are FLAC files?
FLAC typically compresses audio to about 50-70% of the uncompressed size. Much smaller than WAV but larger than lossy formats.
