Copy link

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!
