[FFmpeg-user] Question about file size changes

[David Shuman]

 From what I understand, I am doing a copy that should not alter the original content except to add dropped frames as necessary to sync the video and audio due to transmission errors.  Why is  the KB/S changing and by two different values depending solely on the suffix for the files.  Which conversion is more valid in this case?  MTS or M2TS?

Most likely you're seeing the effects of muxer overheads.
