streaming - title.m2ts versus title.ts

[CybrFyre]

So far, every blu ray I've looked at streaming (which admittedly is only a few due), I see a file0 and a file0 for each title, one being .m2ts and one .ts, as illustrated below:

Code: Select all

id	1
duration	3:06:28
chaptercount	43
formatcount	2
format0	m2ts
file0	/stream/title1.m2ts
format1	ts
file1	/stream/title1.ts

mplayer says "ts file format detected" for both... is this just an attempt to make players that may balk at one file extension versus the other happy?

M2TS and TS are slightly different formats with some players dying on M2TS and playng fine TS. You should select M2TS if your player can handle that format. MakeMKV transcodes M2TS to TS if requested.
