I want to convert a Blu-ray video file in m2ts format to mp4 without having to re-encode the video and audio. However, all the commands I have tried so far seem to have some issues. The file is converting quickly and smoothly and appears fine when played. However, if you attempt to skip forward or backward for a split second, it has a glitchy effect on the screen.

just use ffmpeg -i input.m2ts -c copy output.mp4

just use ffmpeg -i input.m2ts -c copy output.mp4
I have tried that one, as well as;
ffmpeg -i input.m2ts -c:v copy -c:a copy output.mp4
ffmpeg -r 29.97 -i input.m2ts -c:v copy -c:a copy output.mp4 (To keep fps same as original)
What I notice is a difference in fps in m2ts and mp4. The input is 29.97 fps and the output is 59.94!
Input : Video: h264 (High) (HDMV / 0x564D4448), yuv420p(tv, bt709, top first), 1920x1080 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 29.97 fps, 59.94 tbr, 90k tbn
Output : Video: h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p(tv, bt709, top first), 1920x1080 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 13417 kb/s, 59.94 fps, 59.94 tbr, 90k tbn (default)
Hello,
MP4 TO MP4 (MEDIUM)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -b 1000000 output.mp4
M2TS TO MP4
ffmpeg -i input.m2ts -vcodec libx264 -crf 20 -acodec ac3 -vf "yadif" output.mp4
I don'y understand what is -b 1000000
format.
ffmpeg documentation is exhaustive, but quite difficult to understand, especially for non fluent englidh people.
My goal is to convert m2ts files in mp4 format, keeping the quality as good as possible.
I always use:
ffmpeg -i input.m2ts output.mp4
I get mp4 files with size 2x smaller than the m2ts file, and sometimes I see some "aliasing" (not sure it's the good word) when the animation of the video goes fast.
So I'm searching the good parameters to have mp4 in good quaity.
In the 2 examples above, which is the best way to my expected result?
Maybe it's others parameters?
Thank you for your advice.

I would use "-c:v copy -c:a copy", it will not re-encode the video/audio and will copy them into mp4 container.
ffmpeg -i input.m2ts -c:v copy -c:a copy output.mp4
Most of the time it works for me but I had issues with frame rates before.
Yes, this is what I usually use:
ffmpeg -i input.m2ts -c copy output.mp4
But I have issues too with frame rates, and some mp4 (not all) have the aliasing I'm talking about in the first message. I have less when I remove the copy argument, to reencode the video, but it's a pain in the ass when I have multiple videos to convert (it takes time and CPU power).
I don't know if the cause is the convertion, or ffmpeg itself.
Thanks for the confirmation anyway!
Really nice gist.
Another command that comes in handy is lossless M2TS -> MP4 conversion.
This only changes the container without re-encoding, so it's instant.
