Updated to MC 12.0.404 and there is no m2ts file type in Video Playback Options.
I can play those files without problems in Cyberlink PowerDVD 7.3 and it will be nice to have them organized in MC12 with thumbnails and tag's.

V405 onwards will support the m2ts file extension (you will still need to select the correct codecs).  If you can not wait then rename one of the to just m2t and have a play as this extension is already part of MC12.

Finally! Some help!

I'm going to try some of these suggestions right now for my panasonic avchd files right now.

Thanks.

I'm using 12.0.473 and no .m2ts support is evident.  .m2ts does not appear under file associations or under the DirectShow video settings.

1) If I change the extension to .m2t the files show up as associated with MC but it still can't play them. 

2) If change the extension to .mpg MC can see and play the files.

This seems like a trivial issue. Any suggestions?

Mmmm - I'm not sure why you can not see the M2TS file type as this was added in V12.0.405 (1/04/2008) and I can see it on my install. 



M2TS/M2T/MPEG/VOB etc are all "containers" that can hold the various format Video and Audio streams.  If you can play your M2TS files by renaming them MPEG, note down the filters being used (right click on the video as it is playing) and you should be able to add these as your prefered filters for M2TS (or M2T) under the DirectShow area in MC12 (once you work out why you can not see M2TS as a file type).  FYI - there is a great FAQ on on filters in the Wiki if you have not yet read it.

Thanks

Thanks for the help.  Something is hosed.

I uninstalled and re-installed MC12 and before I reloaded my library, .MT2S was indeed in the Directshow menu. 

Then I restored my library and its gone!

Also, my Directshow Playback Options appears to be really screwed up.  When I select a file type and hit "Select Filters" all hell breaks loose.

First, an Open dialog box appears looking for "Subtitle Formats (.srt.sub), MicroDVD (.srt) or subscrip (.sub) files.  I cancel that box, it reappears, I cancel again. 

Right after that, CPU hits 90-100%.

Then if I hit Select Filters again, the filter selection window appears and seems to work, but CPU is still pegged and stays that way no matter what I do.  Have to kill MC.


Ugh.  Suggestions?
