What is a M2V file?
M2V is a video-only format that contains MPEG-2 encoded video without audio. It is often used in DVD authoring where video and audio are stored separately.
Because it lacks an audio track, M2V is typically combined with an audio file during playback or editing. It’s best suited for professional video workflows.
How to open M2V files
M2V files can be opened using VLC, MPEG Streamclip, or imported into DVD authoring tools. As video-only files, they must be paired with separate audio for full playback.
To convert M2V into more usable formats, use AnyConv to merge it into MP4 or another complete container.
