.m2ts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A .m2ts file is a Sony high definition video file type. M2ts files are raw AVCHD videos recorded using Sony's camcorders, such as the HDR-SR1 and HDR-SR5 models. Panasonic, Canon and other brands of AVCHD camcorders also record in m2ts format. Currently, m2ts files can be played using the Picture Motion Browser, which is an application video player provided with Sony AVCHD camcorders.

M2ts files contain a transport stream BDAV MPEG-2. Each stream is its own file and file names are of the form XXXXX.M2TS (where "XXXXX" is a five-digit number followed by .M2TS).

Currently, Nero Vision is capable of converting M2TS format to MPEG-4 files, which can be viewed using Quicktime 7.

Sony products Media Manager PRO for PSP, Media Manager PRO for Walkman, and Mobile Media Manager PRO are all capable of converting M2TS format to MP4 files.
