ads

There are 3 external links to M2TS converter, the page reads like an ad —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.202.72.64 (talk) 20:27, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I second that! Looks like a bloody advertisement.--130.216.50.11 (talk) 02:59, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

VLC Media Player

On the subject of using these files with VLC, it does not play an m2ts file I remuxed from a Blu-Ray disc. BSplayer does manage to do this, so I think the VLC player mention in this article should either be removed, or it should have a mention that it doesn't work with all files, to prevent misinformation. arienh4^(Talk) 08:12, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What is .mts?

.mts redirects to this article, but this article contains no information about .mts.

Is .mts the predecessor of .m2ts? Or is it just an alternative extension? Gronky (talk) 17:42, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please look at "Filename extension" in the Infobox. --Regression Tester (talk) 23:25, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the pointer, but the relationship still isn't clear to me. This might seem obvious to someone who's already knowledgeable about this field, but to the general public, this only says that there is some kind of link between .m2ts and .mts. What's the link? Are they two perfectly interchangeable choices? Did one replace the other? Are they two completely different file formats, managed by the same company?

This requires a sentence in the article. Putting the two side-by-side in the infobox is too terse. Gronky (talk) 15:40, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am confused about next. You say that those are MPEG2 files, but I have M2TS files from camera that are MPEG4 (H.264). What's the catch? ...Regards from Mike. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.252.67.173 (talk) 11:22, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Transport streams (that is what this article is about) are defined in MPEG-2 (part 1). They may contain different audio, video and (different) data-streams, some of them defined in MPEG-2 (like MPEG-2 video), some in MPEG-4 (like H264). --Regression Tester (talk) 11:33, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FPS?

I looked up M2TS so that I could determine the best format to covert to another format which would be easier if I knew the frame rate so I can match it in the output. So is M2TS 24 fps? and why couldn't someone put it in the format section?

Software Support

"The only other piece of software known currently to handle both types is Pinnacle Studio 12 Ultimate and Cyberlink Power Director v8."

As far as I know, Edius also support these formats. Can someone confirm? 4l3ert (talk) 18:13, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

article title starting with dot?

If article about MPEG-2 Transport Stream is titled .m2ts than article about Audio Video Interleave should be titled .avi and article about text file should be titled .txt. 83.26.110.196 (talk) 17:25, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mime type

It was suggested to change the Internet media type to video/mp2t. The only current source for the mime type claims "video/MP2T", this should be changed here if another source can be found.--Regression Tester (talk) 10:10, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File type vs. format type

M2TS is a file type (192-byte transport stream as I understand), it is just a part of BD spec a whole. I believe that the whole discussion about BD file structure, naming, etc does not belong here. Instead, this article should explain the differences between stream with 192-byte blocks and older 188-byte type, but this is exactly what this article is lacking. No info is given what extra 4 bytes are for (ok, they are timestamp) and what are compatibility implications. Mikus (talk) 16:41, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
