How do I play .m2t files in Vista Windows Media Player?

Postby Matthew Max » Mon Mar 07, 2011 9:50 pm

My wife loves the blu ray video I made for her. Now she wants to be able to play it on her Vista laptop like I do in Windows 7. Do I need to BUY yet another thing?

All she wants to do is play it like any other video file on her computer plays.

I use Media Player Classic to view m2t files on my PC.
http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/

It's Free and plays the files flawlessly :)

Chuck, that's much better. My wife will be so happy.

In this particular player, in some places of the video, like going past telephone poles, street lights and other objects and a fairly slow speed but kind of fast inside the picture frame, the video becomes jittery. Any suggestions? I did download the directX files.

I doubt it is the player, what graphics card and processor do you have on that computer?

I should've thought about that! If it were my own computer, I would've. Gracias.

Chuck,

I downloaded the MPC home viedo player and it doesn't work. I opened the program, then opened a m2ts file and just got a black screen. I uninstalled the program and then re-installed it and the same problem. I routinely use these m2ts files in power director with no problem. I just want a program that can view them.

What should I do?

I'm not really sure what to do, mine just worked if I remember correctly.
Will have to do some checking and see what I can find out.

You might want to try VLC, it is a good free player and a lot of people use that for playing m2t files.

I have also heard that you can change the file extension to .mpg and they will play in Windows Media Player.
Have not tried that myself.

I tried VLC. It didn't work either. It freezes after the first half second.

But I found a player that works. It is called "splash Lite" It is free and works very well. see this link.

I would appreciate any comments from forum members who might have tried this. Have you found any problems?

Hi Cliff,
After installing the Splash Lite player do the others (MPC and VLC) work now?
Sometimes it is just a codec issue and the Splash Lite player might have installed the correct codec.
Hard to say sometimes why things do work when it comes to players like these. Could be that you just need to update your video card driver. I am glad that you found something that works :)

I started with Splash Lite and then upgraded to Splash Pro. It's a little bit more powerful. It plays back my 1920x1080p 30fps video smoothly, but it won't play back my 1280x720p 60fps smoothly. Arcsoft TotalMedia Theater Platinum does play it back smoothly.

I have a Pentium 4, 3 GHz HT, 2 GB RAM, NVidia Geforce 9400 GT - 1 GB RAM video card; Windows XP Pro SP3.
