What is 264 file?
The .264 file is a multimedia file that contains audio and video digital data compressed with the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC (Advanced Video Coding) compression standard. It enables Blu-ray discs, Quicktime MOV scripts and other container formats to efficiently encode audio and video data in High Definition (HD) quality with minimal degradation. This file is stored in a binary encoded container format, and is used to play, stream, or create video files. With the ability to store data at any bitrate, . [ ⏩ ] 264 file extension
What is M2V file?
The M2V file extension belongs to the MPEG-2 Video File (MPEG) type, which contains audio and video encoded data that has been compressed with the MPEG-2 standard. The standard was developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). It is the preferred format for DVD players since the data can be compressed to less than half of its original size without loss of audio or video quality. [ ⏩ ] M2V file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from 264 to M2V?
To successfully convert the 264 file to M2V, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.264). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case M2V (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than M2V).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. 264 to M2V. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting 264 files to M2V files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension M2V, while before this step we had the 264 file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new M2V file, or not.
