Technical details
Videos with M2V specifications are mainly used for video editing. They, together with M2A audio files, are most often generated during the so-called demuxing (demultiplexing) of an MPG (MPEG) video file. M2V files only contain the video stream that is compressed with the lossy MPEG-2 method. In principle, most video playback programs should be able to handle M2V files. If your software doesn’t support playback of M2Vs, changing the extension to .mpg may help.
