Sources of M2TS Problems

Common M2TS Opening Problems

Missing CyberLink PowerDVD

When you double-click your M2TS file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have CyberLink PowerDVD for %%os%% installed. The OS won't know what to do with your M2TS file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens M2TS files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Obsolete Version of CyberLink PowerDVD

Sometimes your installed version of CyberLink PowerDVD won't support your Blu-ray BDAV Video File file. If you do not have the proper version CyberLink PowerDVD (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This problem is predominately due to having a Blu-ray BDAV Video File file version that was created by a newer version of CyberLink PowerDVD than what you have installed on your PC.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your M2TS file and clicking "Properties".

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening M2TS files are due to having the wrong version of CyberLink PowerDVD installed.
