| MPEG-2 Stream File Format | Moving Picture Experts Group | Video Files |
The .M2P file extension is designated for MPEG-2 Program Stream, a commonly used multimedia format and container file type. Developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) for storing digital audio and video streams, this file format contains multiplexed audio and video elementary streams that are created using different variations of the encoders used within the MPEG-2 standard. Such files are used for the playback of MPEG-2 compressed video content on many different types of devices, such as televisions, DVD players and web browsers using specialized plugins.
MPEG Encoder
MPEG-2 encoders are designed to offer high compression levels when storing audio and video, which allows for relatively small file sizes while still maintaining a good amount of quality. The M2P file format typically contains multiplexed audio elements such as MP2 and DTS (Digital Theater Systems) audio, AAC audio (Advanced Audio Coding) and others. These files can be re-multiplexed between different formats or altered in any way using TMPGEnc or any other MPEG-2 authoring application.
Similar File Extensions
Along with the .M2P extension, the MPEG-2 standard is also frequently seen in files using other similar filename suffixes, such as .MPG, .VOB, .MRF, .MPV, .MPA, .DAT, .TS, .TP, or a variety of other others.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .M2P) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .M2P extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .M2P file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .M2P extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .M2P extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .M2P file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .M2P file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .M2P file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .M2P file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .M2P file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
