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
MAUD is an audio file format developed by MacroSystem for the Commodore Amiga platform, introduced in the early 1990s as part of their digital video and audio production tools. Built on the Amiga IFF (Interchange File Format) chunk architecture, MAUD files organize data into clearly delineated chunks — MHDR for the header, MDAT for sample data, and optional annotation chunks for metadata. The format supports mono and stereo layouts with bit depths of 8 or 16 bits and sample rates up to 48 kHz, which represented professional-grade specifications on Amiga hardware. Both signed linear PCM and A-law/mu-law encodings are available, offering a choice between fidelity and file size. MAUD saw primary use in the Amiga video production community, where MacroSystem Retina and VLab Motion boards demanded synchronized audio that the standard 8SVX format could not deliver. Conversion support exists today through SoX and libsndfile, ensuring vintage Amiga productions remain recoverable. Three distinct advantages stand out: clean IFF-based structure that any chunk-aware parser can navigate, 16-bit stereo capability ahead of typical Amiga audio, and lightweight overhead that left maximum CPU headroom for video rendering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert M2V to MAUD?

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

Which applications support MAUD?

Amiga emulators, retro computing tools, and Audacity can open Amiga MAUD audio files.

Does it work on phones and tablets?

Yes. The converter runs in any modern mobile browser on iOS and Android devices, with the same functionality as desktop.

What happens to my uploaded files?

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

Can I convert several files at once?

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