Supports: WEBP
.webp images. Batch is supported, and animated WebP frames are decoded automatically.WebP is Google's web image format (announced 30 September 2010, animation added October 2011) that stores still and animated images using VP8/VP8L compression inside a RIFF container. M2TS is the file extension for the BDAV MPEG-2 Transport Stream — the container the Blu-ray Disc Association introduced in 2004 to wrap H.262, H.264/AVC, or VC-1 video for set-top playback. WebP-to-M2TS converts a still or animated image into a transport-stream slideshow you can author onto a Blu-ray or play on hardware that expects .m2ts rather than .mp4.
.m2ts in their supported-files table but have no WebP decoder. Converting lets a 2012 TV play your 2024 phone screenshot..m2ts (or .mts) clips. A title card, lower-third, or end slate authored as M2TS concatenates without re-muxing in tools like tsMuxeR.| Property | M2TS (BDAV TS) | MP4 (ISO BMFF) |
|---|---|---|
| Spec origin | Blu-ray Disc Association, 2004 | MPEG-4 Part 14, 2003 |
| Stream model | Packetized transport stream (188-byte + 4-byte arrival timestamp = 192 bytes) | File-level container with moov index |
| Designed for | Disc & broadcast — error-resilient, seek-anywhere | Files & streaming — single-source, low overhead |
| Mandatory video codecs | H.262/MPEG-2, H.264/AVC, VC-1 (HEVC on UHD Blu-ray only) | H.264, H.265, AV1, MPEG-4 ASP, and others |
| Mandatory audio | Linear PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS (TrueHD/DTS-HD optional) | AAC, plus AC3, ALAC, Opus, FLAC |
| Max video bitrate (BD-ROM) | 40 Mbit/s video, 48 Mbit/s total AV | Unbounded — depends on codec/level |
| Streaming-friendly | Yes for broadcast; not HTTP-streamed | Yes (DASH/HLS via fMP4) |
| Web playback | Not supported in browsers | Universal in modern browsers |
| File size | Larger (packet overhead, padding) | Smaller for same codec/quality |
| Preset | Typical CRF (H.264) | Visual result | Use when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lowest | ~30-32 | Visible blocking on text | Tiny disc footprint, low-detail photos |
| Low | ~26-28 | Soft on fine detail | Long slideshows on dual-layer BD-25 |
| Medium | ~22-24 | Balanced default | General photo slideshows |
| High | ~19-21 | Near-source on stills | Family albums, archival |
| Very High | ~16-18 | Recommended default — visually lossless | Most authored Blu-rays |
| Highest | ~12-15 | Mathematically near-lossless | Mastering, future re-encodes |
Often yes for player models from roughly 2010 onward — Sony, Panasonic, LG, and Samsung Blu-ray players generally read .m2ts from USB when the file uses H.264 plus AC3/Linear PCM. Older or budget players sometimes require the file to live inside a proper BDMV\STREAM\ folder structure. If a player rejects a bare .m2ts, author it into a BDAV folder with multiAVCHD or tsMuxeR first.
WebP at 100 KB is one heavily compressed still; M2TS wraps that still as a continuous video stream — typically 10-30 Mbit/s of H.264 plus a silent audio track, plus the 192-byte transport-packet overhead BDAV uses for arrival timestamps. A 5-second slide at 20 Mbit/s is ~12.5 MB regardless of how small the source image was. Use the Low or Medium preset to shrink output if disc space is tight.
Standard Blu-ray BDAV only permits H.262/MPEG-2, H.264/AVC, or VC-1; HEVC is reserved for Ultra HD Blu-ray, so for maximum player compatibility xconvert defaults to H.264 inside the .m2ts wrapper. HEVC-in-M2TS will play in VLC, MPC-HC, and modern smart TVs but may be rejected by 2010-era Blu-ray hardware.
Each frame of the animated WebP is extracted and re-timed onto the M2TS timeline. If you set Duration to "1/24 second per frame" the slideshow plays at WebP's native frame cadence; longer durations stretch each frame into a hold. Animated WebP with non-uniform frame delays will be approximated to the closest duration preset.
The Background Color option fills letterbox or pillarbox bars. Black is the default and looks correct on every TV; choose white, gray, or a brand color if you're authoring promotional slides. To avoid bars entirely, set a custom Width × Height that matches your WebP's aspect ratio (e.g., 1080×1920 for a phone screenshot).
Yes — all three NLEs import H.264-in-M2TS natively because they're built to handle AVCHD camcorder footage. Premiere and Resolve treat it as a standard transport stream; Final Cut may transcode to ProRes on import depending on your Library settings. If you need to splice with existing camcorder clips, see MTS to MP4 for the reverse direction or compress M2TS to trim file size before importing.
Not in this converter — the output carries a silent audio track to keep the transport stream BDAV-compliant. To add music, convert your WebP set to M2TS first, then use a video editor (Resolve, Shotcut, Premiere) to overlay the audio and re-export to .m2ts. If you want the music workflow in one step, WebP to MP4 followed by WebP to MKV is often easier for non-disc use cases.
No, not by default. Broadcast TS is constant-bitrate with strict PCR/PTS timing, specific GOP structures, and required PSI/PMT tables that vary by region. xconvert produces BDAV-style variable-rate M2TS suitable for disc authoring and player playback; broadcast ingest typically requires a station's own encoder profile applied afterward.
Choose Merge images in the Merge Strategy section and upload the WebP files in the order you want them to play — the converter outputs a single .m2ts with each image held for the Duration you set. To get separate M2TS files (one per WebP) for menu-based BDAV authoring, choose Video per image instead. For JPG or PNG sources, see JPG to M2TS and PNG to M2TS.
