WMP11 Can't Play m2t

**S Kent** · 13-08-2007

I have a Windows XP SP2 running computer with pretty good config such as Intel 3GHz P4 HT, 2GB mem, Radeon 9800 Pro, etc but still my Windows Media Player 11 is not able to play High Definition videos. The videos are with .m2t extension and are full HD.

I have two movies with this extension and none of them are able to play. Whenever I open them, WMP just gets freezed, no audio and no video.

Do anybody have any idea regarding this?

I think Windows Media Player is not compatible to play /m2t file types by default. You will need to install MPEG2 (DVD) decoders in order to play the same. You can download the required decoder from here. Another way is to simply change the file extension from .m2t to .mpg. This has worked for many users on Windows XP. Only Vista users face problem after changing extension.

Hay, thanks for replying buddy. I tried changing the file extension to .mpg as well as m2v as suggested by a guy, but none of them work yet.

Also the decoder URL you have given seems only made for Windows Media Player 10, whereas mine is WMP 11. So its not working too.

I used windows media player for about 5 years and have faced more than 500 problems. So since I upgraded to Vista, I quit using WMP and stuck with VLC player. Its too good compared to WMP, can play almost all video and audio files. Its been a year I am using VLC and never had any problem. If you want you can give it a try, it’s a free media player but very effective.
