Sources of MTS Problems


Issues Opening MTS Files

Microsoft Windows Media Player is Not Installed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open MTS Files" when trying to open your MTS. When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Windows Media Player missing in %%os%%. The typical path of opening your MTS with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: Another MTS-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Incorrect Microsoft Windows Media Player Version

In other instances, your AVCHD Video File file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft Windows Media Player. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Windows Media Player installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Your AVCHD Video File file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Windows Media Player than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Investigate your MTS file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Conclusion: The majority of MTS file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Windows Media Player version installed.


Other MTS File Opening Causes

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Microsoft Windows Media Player will resolve your issue. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening MTS files. Problems unrelated to software:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for MTS are wrong
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry MTS description
  • Defective install of a MTS program, such as Microsoft Windows Media Player
  • MTS file corruption
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your MTS
  • MTS-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the AVCHD Video File format
