Convert M2T to ALAC

M2T to ALAC Conversion Software converts M2T files to ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec). With a simple and use-to-use interface, the conversion from M2T to ALAC is as easy as 1-2-3. You don't need to know professional knowledge of M2T and ALAC. The converter also support common formats such as AU, M4A (MPEG-4 audio), M4R (iPhone ringtone), OGG, AAC, M4B (MPEG-4 audiobook), WMA, AAC for iPod/iPhone/iPad/iTunes/DSi, etc. It could convert APE to MP3, AIFC to M4A (MPEG-4 audio), MP4 to M4B (MPEG-4 audiobook), MP4 to AWB, DVD to M4A (MPEG-4 audio), VOB to OGG, and so on.

The software is very easy to use and supports batch conversion. It is full compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP/2000.

M2T to ALAC Conversion Software is compatible with Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP/2008/2003/2000

What is M2T?
M2T is file extension of HDV. HDV is a format for recording of high-definition video on DV cassette tape. The format was originally developed by JVC and supported by Sony, Canon and Sharp. The four companies formed the HDV consortium in September 2003.

Conceived as an affordable high definition format for digital camcorders, HDV quickly caught on with many amateur and professional videographers due to its low cost, portability and image quality acceptable for many professional productions.

HDV video and audio are encoded in digital form, using lossy compression. Video is encoded with the MPEG-2 codec at a rate of either 19 or 25 Mbit/s (depending on the frame-size), using 8-bit chroma and luma samples with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. Stereo audio is encoded with the MPEG-1 Layer 2 codec, at 384 kbit/s. The compressed audio and video are multiplexed into a MPEG transport stream, which is typically captured onto magnetic tape, but which can also be stored in a computer file.

Because the primary recording media ¡ª tape ¡ª is transported with constant linear speed, the rate control for both the audio and video compression are locked to a constant bitrate. At the bitrates and frame-sizes (1280x720, 1440x1080) at which HDV operates, the video compression may introduce visible artifacts artifacts, such as blockiness, blurring, ringing. Artifacts are most visible in playback of scenes with lots of fine detail, rapid movement or other complex activity like flashing lights. These scenes would demand the bitrate to exceed the fixed 25Mbit/sec that HDV allocates for the video bitstream, and hence, suffer visible degradation. In contrast to the video, HDV audio bitrate is comparatively generous. At the coded bitrate of 384kbit/s, MPEG-1 Layer 2 audio is regarded as perceptually lossless.

What is ALAC?
Apple Lossless (also known as Apple Lossless Encoder, ALE, or Apple Lossless Audio Codec, ALAC) is an audio codec developed by Apple Inc. for lossless data compression of digital music.

Apple Lossless data is stored within an MP4 container with the filename extension .m4a. It is not a variant of AAC, but uses linear prediction similar to other lossless codecs such as FLAC and Shorten. iPod players with a dock connector (not the Shuffle) and recent firmware can play Apple Lossless-encoded files. It does not utilize any digital rights management (DRM) scheme, but by the nature of the container, it is thought that DRM can be applied to ALAC much the same way it can with other files in QuickTime containers.
