Unlike MTS it is a MPEG-2 Transport Stream which is MPEG-4 TS it is an Audio and Video Container. M2TS is for transmission of data reliably in real time rather than unreliable transport media. It is necessary for a media player to open M2TS, to have MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 codec because M2TS can have MPEG-2, SMPTEC VC-1, and /MPEG-4 video compression whereas Audio is compressed with DOLBY Digital and DTS format along with PCM for uncompressed Audio.

Hence, not many Media Players and Video Converters can be short listed to deal with M2TS file Format.
