| MPEG-2 Transport Stream Format | N/A | Video Files |
The M2T file type is a digital video format used by professionals for broadcast grade applications. It is associated with the .M2T file extension, which stands for MPEG-2 Transport Stream. Developers have designed the M2T format to efficiently hold video information that can be broadcast using a variety of methods, such as digital cable, direct broadcast satellite (DBS), and streaming media.
File Properties
Generally speaking, M2T files are most frequently used for streaming real-time audio and video recordings found in digital televisions and related broadcasting applications. The primary purpose of an M2T file is to store multiple audio and video streams for sequential playback in one combined unit. Video streams can include visual compression methods like MPEG-2, MPEG-4, Motion JPEG, H.264/AVC, and VC-1; meanwhile, audio streams can use codecs ranging from MP3 to Dolby Digital Surround Audio.
Though it is primarily used for broadcast-quality transfers, you can still open an M2T file using several media players like VLC Media Player, MPC-HC, or DivX Plus Player. Other similar extensions include .TS, .MPG, and .MPEG.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .M2T) 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 .M2T 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 .M2T 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 .M2T 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 .M2T extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .M2T file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .M2T 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 .M2T file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .M2T file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .M2T file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
