Batch Settings
Le format M2V — flux vidéo MPEG-2 sans audio — reste présent dans des contextes bien précis : montage broadcast, archivage institutionnel, production de DVD professionnels. Pratique à l'origine pour séparer piste image et piste son, il devient vite encombrant dès qu'on cherche à partager, diffuser ou relire un fichier sur du matériel récent. La conversion vers MP4 règle ce problème simplement : le conteneur H.264 ou H.265 est reconnu partout, allège considérablement le poids des fichiers et s'intègre sans friction dans les chaînes de travail actuelles. Que vous récupériez des rushs d'archives, des masters télévisuels ou des exports issus d'anciens logiciels de PAO, cette conversion vous évite de dépendre d'équipements ou de lecteurs spécialisés devenus rares.

- Conversion de masters DVD pour dépôts légaux à la BnF ou Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec
- Mise à jour de supports de formation produits sous anciens outils de PAO belges ou suisses
En France et en Belgique, certains services publics audiovisuels ont longtemps livré leurs productions sous forme de fichiers M2V séparés conformément aux spécifications techniques de diffusion TNT. Ces fichiers, encore présents dans des archives institutionnelles, nécessitent une conversion soignée pour préserver la synchronisation lors de la réassociation avec la piste audio.
