About formats

M2V is a file format containing MPEG-2 video elementary streams without an encapsulating container or associated audio data. Standardized as part of ISO/IEC 13818-2 (also known as ITU-T H.262) by the Moving Picture Experts Group in 1995, M2V stores raw compressed video exactly as it would appear within an MPEG-2 program or transport stream, but stripped of all multiplexing overhead. This makes M2V files primarily useful in professional authoring workflows, particularly DVD production, where video and audio streams are prepared and encoded separately before being muxed together into the final container format. M2V streams support both interlaced and progressive scan modes at resolutions ranging from standard definition up to 1920x1080 HD, with bit rates typically ranging from 2 to 15 Mbps for consumer content and up to 80 Mbps in professional applications. The use of both intra-coded frames and predictive frames provides an effective balance between compression efficiency and random access capability. Because M2V contains only video with no audio or synchronization information, it requires pairing with a separate audio file for complete playback. DVD authoring software commonly expects M2V input alongside AC3 or LPCM audio files, making this format an essential intermediate step in professional disc mastering and broadcast preparation workflows.
Initial release: July 1995
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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of converting M2V to FAP?

Converting M2V to FAP extracts whatever audio data accompanies the video stream, producing a standalone audio file for any player.

Which applications support FAP?

Telephony systems and FAP-compatible audio processors handle FAP-encoded files.

What happens to my uploaded files?

Uploaded M2V files are deleted from our servers immediately after processing. Converted FAP files are auto-removed within 24 hours.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Upload multiple M2V files and extract FAP audio from each one in a single batch operation — fast and convenient.

Do I need to install anything?

Not at all. The converter runs in your web browser — no downloads, plugins, or desktop applications are required for the conversion.
