Question:

I recently got a Sony HDR-XR200V camcorder, and I want to convert the files from M2TS to MKV. I have Sony Vegas, but it doesn’t support MKV. Basically, I want to convert M2TS files into more common video formats. How can I do this?

Answer:

Dear, there are three logical possibilities for your reference. The biggest consideration is the software or hardware you're using to watch the movies on.

- If you plan on watching the video using software like XBMC, VLC, etc., either format should work fine.

- If you plan on using Power DVD or another Blu-ray player software, you should stick to M2TS.

- If you use a standalone device like an HTPC, Popcorn Hour, or a Western Digital player, you’ll probably have better compatibility with the MKV container.

Here, I would like to recommend that you try **Wondershare Video Converter Platinum**, which can efficiently convert M2TS files into more common video formats such as MKV.
