Knowledge: What's M2TS
The M2TS container format is a standard used on Blu-ray Video discs. Blu-ray Disc Video titles authored with menu support are in the BDMV (Blu-ray Disc Movie) format and contain audio, video, and other streams in BDAV container (.m2ts), which is based on the MPEG-2 transport stream format. The BDAV container is also used in the BDAV (Blu-ray Audio/Visual) disc format, the consumer oriented alternative to the BDMV discs. BDAV disc format is used on BD-RE and BD-R discs for audio/video recording.
The M2TS container with filename extension .MTS or .m2ts is also used in AVCHD format, which is a high definition digital video camera recorder format. AVCHD is a simpler form of the Blu-ray Video standard with just one video encoding algorithm and two audio encodings. Compared to Blu-ray Video format, AVCHD can use various storage media, such as DVD media, memory cards or hard disk drives. The M2TS container contains videos recorded using AVCHD camcorders, such as the Sony's HDR-SR(xx)series models. Panasonic, Canon and other brands of AVCHD camcorders also store recorded video in M2TS container format. There are some problems with AVCHD compatibility between brands.
