MPLS

MPLS is a format used on Blu-ray Discs for playlists, combining video stream packets into a larger unit. The normal extension is .mpls, but in instances where such files are stored in filesystems (e.g., FAT32) that allow only three-letter extensions, .mpl is used.

These files are usually accompanied by other associated files including these related formats:


 * BDMV (Blu-ray disc user interactivity data)
 * M2TS (Blu-ray disc video stream packet format)
 * CLPI (Blu-ray disc clip info files)
