I'm trying to play a m2ts file (Mpeg2 Transport Stream) generated from my Sony HDR-SR1 AVCHD Camera.. I got a computer too slow error.. I have a new Mac Mini... duo core..
Should this be the case or is VLC currently not compatible with this file?
thanks,
GM

AVCHd is not yet supported by ffmpeg, which we use to decode most of our video. Will be supported in the future, but timetable is unknown.

I know you mentioned AVCDHD is not supported yet, so I just wanted to add that I tried playing *.m2ts on a PC and received the following error:
Assertion failed!
Program: c:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe
File: h264.c
Line: 3612
Expression: best_i !=INT_MIN
thanks,

AVCHD M2TS question (basic)

Is this correct..? While on my camera the video is in an AVCHD format (compressed greatly).. when the camera exports it to my PC then it comes in as a .M2TS file.. is this file a standard H.264 file (I thought this was MPEG-4) or is their something different about it because it came from the AVCHD format...?
I guess I jumped the gun getting the camera... kinda assumed that VLC played everything known to man...
Thanks in advance for any insight...

M2TS is MPEG-4 "transport", which means the data is sent out in packets, instead of a constant stream ("program" mode). This is the way most cable companies send out their cable transmission. If you "capture" the Firewire data out of a cable DVR box, that is what you will get. VLC handles MPEG-4 transport just fine, except that the latest version for the Mac (0.8.6) is broken. Version 0.8.5 works fine. All Windows version works fine.

It's called MPEG2 - Transport btw.
But it can carry all kinds of video and audio stuff.

Indeed, I stand corrected. It is called MPEG-2 Transport.

Has anyone been able to read the .mts files that are transferred from a Sony HDR-SR1 camcorder to disk drive? I tried VLC 0.8.5 and 0.8.6 but neither worked.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I'am using VLC on MS XP, but I get a error Message when I view my m2ts File. It ist created from a Panasonic SD1 (AVCHD).
By the way, the sotware (from Panasonic) renamed the files from *.mts on the SD Card to *.m2ts on the Harddrive.
Can anybody tell me, if the VLC (0.8.6a) play the files?
Why it is not h.264 nativ code from the camcorder?
Thanks for help.
