M2TS

M2TS is the video stream packet format, MPEG-2 based, used on Blu-ray discs. The normal extension is .m2ts, but in instances where such files are stored in filesystems (e.g., FAT32) that allow only three-letter extensions, .m2t is used.

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


 * BDMV (Blu-ray disc files for user interactivity)
 * CLPI (Blu-ray disc clip info files)
 * MPLS (Blu-ray disc playlists)
