.m2t files don't get recognized as mediafiles. So when i try to double click on them in nautilus i just get a error message saying: Cannot open /home/filip/Desktop/Video.m2t: No application suitable for automatic installation is available for handling this kind of file. This is a Ubuntu error message when no application is found to handle the file. The file plays fine when i DnD it in Totem. I think m2t files is a container format for HDV. Other information: Ubuntu Feisty Fawn and Totem-SVN
I get this from Gnome-VFS: $ gnomevfs-info Video.m2t | grep MIME MIME type : application/octet-stream
HDV being? Do you have such a file available somewhere?
HDV == High Definition Video. Its the format used by HDV camcorders, don't know if its mpeg4 inside or something else. Have a m2t file at home, so when i'm home next time i will send it to you.
You can get some m2t files here: http://www.vasst.com/HDV/media/CF24-upload.m2t http://www.vasst.com/HDV/FX-1_images-Surfers.htm (more) $ gst-typefind CF24-upload.m2t CF24-upload.m2t - video/mpegts, systemstream=(boolean)true, packetsize=(int)188
It's just an MPEG-2 video... I'll update shared-mime-info to add "*.m2t" as a video/mpeg pattern when the freedesktop.org servers come back online.
In shared-mime-info now: 2007-02-13 Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> * freedesktop.org.xml.in: add *.m2t as a pattern for MPEG 2 files (GNOME bug #406196)
