What is MPLS file?

The .MPLS extension is the file format used by Blu-ray Movie Playlists. This type of file is encoded in the playlist specific Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) and contains playback commands along with their corresponding clip and menu reference frames. It functions as an index for a Blu-ray disc’s content and can be used to play back movies, audio, or video files. [ ⏩ ] MPLS file extension

How to convert the file from MPLS to M3U?

To successfully convert the MPLS file to M3U, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.MPLS). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case M3U (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than M3U).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. MPLS to M3U. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting MPLS files to M3U files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension M3U, while before this step we had the MPLS file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new M3U file, or not.
