mts and mts.meta video's

Postby BatGirl » 10 Aug 2024 02:43

Been trying to play unsuccessfully video files from my PVR (recorded OTA shows, etc) which makes .mts with accompanying .mts.meta files which play fine on it and my Blu-ray player. Can't get these files to play on anything else in a useful manner - VLC plays it but it is pixelated, choppy, hangs, etc - unusable... most others won't play them at all (WIN7, Ubuntu, Samsung smart TV, etc.).

SO, tried to convert the .mts file to mp4, m4v, etc. and get distorted, pixelated, choppy, etc. - sometimes the video file is over 5 hours long ~ from a 1 hr video? Others create files that just display black screen and no timer info, or just lock up the player. Used online conversions and one's downloaded in both win and linux - no good ~ ANY of them!

Hope to find SOMETHING that will convert it - most converter input file list have no .mts option... closest thing is m2ts :-\

...what's a girl to do!?! :roll:

which file - the .mts or the converted file?

The source file, of course.
Please upload a short sample of your original problematic file to WeTransfer.com or Disroot.org and then post the link to the file here.

But that doesn't sound good:

...so the original .mts file that plays fine on my PVR and Blu-ray, has synchronization issues in 'other' players and diagnostic tools making it no way to convert to more user friendly version.

The original file is almost a gigabyte - so no.
